Prediction: 1-1
Grimsby
Saturday’s football game at Prenton Park pits together Tranmere and Grimsby, the two teams who are almost level on points in the League Two standings. The Super Whites have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating Swindon, losing to Crawley, while sharing the spoils with Rochdale. Tranmere missed out on a spot in the playoffs, but they surely want to finish the season in style. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the visit of Grimsby.
The Mariners, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Barrow. Grimsby, though, have a mixed bag on the travels, which is probably the main reason why we are going to put our money on draw. Forward Danilo Orsi-Dadomo is widely expected to return to the starting XI after scoring the winner off the bench in the midweek triumph.
