Tranmere will be desperate to avoid relegation when they face Grimsby on the last day of the season. Nonetheless, we predict a 2-1 away win as Grimsby have been in much better form of late. Tranmere's form is poor (0.50 PPG), with just 0.60 goals scored per game and a worrying 60% failure to score rate. Defensively they also struggle, conceding 1.60 per match, and their home record is particularly alarming—five straight losses and no wins in the last 10. Despite this, Jaze Kabia offers a rare bright spark after his recent hat-trick against Swindon.
Grimsby, meanwhile, are in excellent shape, chasing a playoff spot with strong momentum (2.10 PPG and 70% win rate). The Mariners score freely at 2.30 goals per game and concede just 1.00, showing balance across the pitch. Their away form is also solid (1.80 PPG), and they’ve only failed to score in 10% of matches. H2H slightly favours Tranmere historically, but current form strongly points to the visitors.
Considering Grimsby's clear form and attacking edge, we believe that there is big value in betting on Away Win, alongside Grimsby Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals (Grimsby’s high-scoring style).
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 2 May 2026 at 15:00.
