Morecambe are still struggling near the drop zone and will be feeling a bit of heat having seen the three teams beneath them all win in midweek. So it is their turn to respond but they won’t get an easy home game against the Mariners who have found a bit of form. Grimsby are up in the top half of the table after a five-match unbeaten streak of form and so they are running in a confident mood at the mood at the moment and another win will get them really in the mix towards the play off spots. Grimsby are 19/10 to pick up the three points at the Globe Arena with home side Morecambe at 11/8.

Grimsby TownMorecambe Form
There have been some struggles in front of goal recently for the Shrimps with just the three goals needed in their last five league games. That has contributed to them posting just a W1 D1 L3 record in that said five-game sequence. That’s the problem with them, they are losing on a fairly consistent basis with a W3 D4 L7 record up for the season. At home they have only gone W2 D1 L4 so they aren’t solid at all and are winless in three now at the Globe Arena, losing their last two there against Crawley and Port Vale who are sides right around their position just above the drop zone.
Grimsby Form
The Mariners are now quietly putting together a very good season with just the one defeat in their last eight league matches now. They are unbeaten in five and they are carrying away form too with back to back wins. So they should have their backers in this one. They don’t have a clean sheet out on the road this season and they have been losing three of their seven away games at half time. But they just seem to be finding their feet a little bit at the moment and Siriki Dembele has netted three goals in his last two away games for the Mariners.
Head to Head News
The two sides traded home wins in League Two last season and things are pretty even between the two of them. In the last eight League Two meeting things are even with two wins each and four victories. So that doesn’t help much. Morecambe are unbeaten in their last four games in all competitions against Grimsby, which is a better indicator, winning two of those. Just one of the last six league meetings have gone over 2.5 goals and there have been three 1-1 draws in the last six.
Top Betting Tips
This may just all settle into a draw. Morecambe are struggling but Grimsby have drawn three of their last five games and there have been a clutch of drawn matches between these two, while the Shrimps have held firm on home soil in recent games against the Mariners. The 1-1 correct score is trading at 11/2.
