These two are sat in the bottom half of the League Two table going into this one, so there are a big three points up for grabs for one of them to pull clear a little bit. Grimsby seems to be over their shocking start to the new season and took an unexpected away win at the high-flying Accrington in midweek. As for Yeovil they are without a win in three games now and have dropped points against teams below them in each of those three. Grimsby are a very nice even money quote at bet365 to claim three points, with the visitors at 13/5.

Grimsby Form:
It was not the most auspicious of starts to the new season by the Mariners as they only went W1 L3 in their first four fixtures and were struggling. But they have turned it around a little bit with two wins in their last three (L1) and there was a confidence boosting away win at Accrington in midweek, a game for which the Mariners were heavy underdogs. At home this season they have only posted a W1 L2 record so need to start building momentum at Blundell Park.
Yeovil Form:
Yeovil have just been patchy and unpredictable all season long in League Two. They have posted a W2 D2 L3 record for the season, but they have lost only one of their last four (D2 L1) and have drawn their last two. Worryingly perhaps though, is that in their last three games they have lost against Crawley and have been held to draws at home by Cheltenham and Morecambe, all sides beneath them in the table currently. Away from home, they have lost all three games, conceding 14 goals in total.
Head to Head News:
There have only been the four previous games between these two clubs and Grimsby are slightly up with a W2 D1 L1 record over the Glovers from that. All of those fixtures were in League Two and from them, the Mariners have won both of their previous home fixtures against Yeovil.
Top Betting Tips:
With the Glovers having dropped points against teams beneath them recently, there’s little confidence to back them with to collect a win in this one. Grimsby can be hit and miss at best, but confidence should have been gained from beating Accrington in midweek. A good even money price on the home side? Snap it up.
