Grimsby v Wrexham

Grimsby vs Wrexham Preview

Grimsby Town earned a solid point in a 1-1 draw away from home at Gillingham which extended The Mariners' unbeaten run to six games in League Two which has helped keep Saturday's hosts heads above water and out of the relegation zone, while Wrexham remained in third spot in the English fourth tier table despite being handed a 1-0 defeat at home to Tranmere Rovers last weekend.

Grimsby Town have picked up important points by way of four draws and two wins in recent times in the fourth tier which consists of stalemates with Morecambe, AFC Wimbledon, Sutton United and Gillingham along with victories picked up against Forest Green Rovers and MK Dons, both of which have been achieved on home soil at Blundell Park.

However, despite their solid if stubborn unbeaten run of late, the fact still remains that Grimsby Town have only managed to capture just these two aforementioned wins in their last 12 matches overall, thus making them potentially vulnerable when high-flying Wrexham visit on Saturday afternoon.

In addition, although Grimsby Town have won their last two home games on the trot, The Mariners have gained just these two victories from their previous eight games at Blundell Park, slipping to five defeats in the process.

Wrexham may have been dealt a 1-0 loss at home to Tranmere Rovers last weekend but the Welsh outfit will still fancy their chances of bouncing back with all three points here at Grimsby Town as The Dragons have suffered just two defeats from their last nine games overall in League Two, with losses to Gillingham and Tranmere Rovers but they have also collected four wins within this period as well.

Victories gained over the likes of Sutton United, Notts County, Accrington Stanley and Morecambe respectively should still give the visitors plenty of encouragement in picking up a win here up in Cleethorpes.

Results away from home have been fairly inconsistent where Wrexham have been concerned as the visitors have recorded just three wins on the road from their last 10 outings whilst also being dealt four defeats along with being involved in three draws as well, which does throw some doubt as to whether Phil Parkinson's side can take the spoils here on Saturday afternoon.

Grimsby Town v Wrexham Verdict

Grimsby Town have produced some solid results in recent weeks in League Two as the Mariners have steadied the ship but perhaps the hosts may be lacking a cutting edge up front which has not been a problem for the visitors, Wrexham, who, despite some inconsistent result, possess some experienced firepower up front in the shape of forwards Mullin and Lee (15 goals apiece) along with Fletcher (8 goals) who could well prove to be the difference here.

Therefore, our main bet will be Wrexham win @ 1.95
