Walsall will try to build on an impressive 3-0 victory over Gillingham when they welcome Grimsby in League Two round two. The Saddlers scored all three goals late in the game and will be hoping for another strong attacking display. Isaac Moore is pushing for a starting role after scoring as a substitute against Gillingham, while Harry Williams remains sidelined. Walsall's home form is a concern, though, with the hosts winning none of their last four at home and conceding 3.25 goals per game during that run.
Grimsby, meanwhile, made a winning start by beating Exeter 1-0, with Harvey Rodgers scoring the only goal. The Mariners have won five of their last 10 matches and have been particularly reliable in front of goal, scoring in every one of those games. Their away matches have produced 3.40 goals per game on average, while BTTS landed in all five of their recent away fixtures. Cameron Gardner remains unavailable through injury.
BTTS landed in 83% of the previous 12 H2H meetings and all five of Grimsby's last five away matches. Therefore, we are tempted to place our bets on Both Teams to Score, alongside Grimsby or Draw and Half-Time Draw.
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 22 August 2026 at 12:30.
