Prediction: 2-0
Grimsby
Stevenage and Grimsby square off against each other at Broadhall Way in the penultimate game of the regular season. The Boro moved one step closer to securing automatic League One promotion thanks to a hard-fought 1-0 win over Swindon, but both Carlisle and Stockport are still breathing down their neck. Barring any fresh injury worries, Steve Evans is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Robins.
The Mariners, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Crewe, but seeing that they have little to play for in the season finale, we are going to bet on the promotion-chasing hosts this time out. No. 9 George Lloyd is widely expected to return to Grimsby’s starting XI after sitting out against the Railwaymen. It has to be noted that the two sides played out a 1-1 draw in the first half of the season.

Jake Taylor is a product of the Reading football academy who plays for Exeter City in the League Two. Taylor spent his youth career at Reading, and he continued wearing the blue and white shirt at senior level.
