This is a mid-table clash in League Two and very quietly and stealthily, Grimsby are putting some pretty strong form together. They have gone unbeaten in their last six league games now as they have risen up the table, but they face a Cambridgeside who will be in a positive frame of mind after back to back wins in the league. This should be a tight affair at Blundell Park and the Mariners are 31/20 to win it with Cambridge at 17/10.

Grimsby Town
Cambridge UtdThey have been doing things on the quiet have the Mariners as they have now gone six games unbeaten in the division and have lost only one of their lats nine and that was against the strong Newport outfit. So they have fought tooth and nail to get up into the middle of the table and are W2 D4 in their last six games. But they have claimed three clean sheets in their last five games now and they may be a decent flutter at 7/2 to collect a win to nil in this one. After a poor start on home soil, they are unbeaten in five now at home, picking up three clean sheets in that sequence.
Cambridge Form
Cambridge have collected a good haul of seven points from their last three league games now and can’t be knocked for that. The question marks through really come out on the road for them where they are winless in three with no goals netted in their last two away games. Cambridge are one of the lower-scoring teams in the division and Coventry are the only side in the top sixteen, in fact, to have scored fewer goals than the U’s have this season. That’s their big downfall, but they could keep it tight in this one.
Head to Head News
The Mariners won both league meetings against Cambridge last season, only two of four previous meetings between the clubs at this level. The others were back in the 2004/05 League Two season when again Grimsby won both meetings. Grimsby have taken three clean sheets in their four previous League Two contests against the U’s then.
Top Betting Tips
Grimsby are proving to be a really tough nut to crack at the moment and Cambridge probably don’t have the firepower in them to go out and collect maximum points. This should be a low scoring game so look under 2.5 goals but a home win should be on the cards.
