Prediction: 2-2
Walsall
Saturday’s football game at Blundell Park pits together Grimsby Town and Walsall, the two top-table sides. Grimsby have been in a fine form of late, winning four of their last five league fixtures and a triumph over Walsall should see them climb to the playoffs berth. A man to keep an eye in the home team will be talented forward Luca Barrington, who scored a brace in the last league match.
Mat Sadler’s troops, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs in recent weeks, beating Colchester, losing to Fleetwood, while sharing the spoils with Chesterfield. As each of these games ended as goals galore, a high-scoring affair is on the cards at Blundell Park. Midfielder Jack Earning is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the last league match, with Jamie Jellis likely to step up.
Highlighted Team (Grimsby):
Founded back in 1878 as Grimsby Pelham, Grimsby Town are a professional football club that compete in League Two, the English fourth tier. Grimsby Town welcome their opponents at Blundell Park, the stadium which has the capacity of 9,027 people (all seated).
The Pilgrims are well known for their black jerseys with white stripes, whilst blue is the dominant colour of their away kit. Grimsby Town made it to the FA Trophy final on two occasions (2012/13, 2015/16), but they have yet to win the title in the competition. The likes of Hull City and Scunthorpe United are regarded as the club’s main rivals.
The Pilgrims registered their biggest win on September 4, 1925, as they crushed Tranmere Rovers 8-0. Speaking of their heaviest loss, Grimsby Town were beaten by Arsenal 9-1 on January 28, 1931. Pat Glover is sitting in top position in the club’s all-time goal-scoring chart with 180 league goals on his account.
