GRIMSBY TOWN v MACCLESFIELD TOWN
Monday 31st August 2015 – Kickoff: 1500hrs
Football – England – National League Betting Tips
Grimsby Town will be depending on their home form at their Blundell Park ground once again this season as they look to make a return to the football league after missing out in last season’s play-offs.
Grimsby have been held to consecutive stalemates against Torquay United and Lincoln City respectively the past two matches in 2-2 and 1-1 draws which followed a 2-1 defeat away at Altrincham.
However, Grimsby Town hold a solid record on home turf already this season where they’ve beaten Barrow 4-1 and Bromley 4-1 also, along with a 2-2 draw with Torquay United. In addition, The Mariners have lost just once from their last ten home matches which should be the difference here today.
Visitors Macclesfield Town have suffered three National League defeats heading into today’s clash in Grimsby following losses to Lincoln City, Eastleigh and Chester, and The Silkmen currently sit fourth from bottom in the non-league top flight as a result.
In fact, Macclesfield’s overall form at this level has been decidedly below-par as they’ve registered just two wins from their last 14 matches overall, but it should also be noted that both of these wins were recorded at their Moss Rose ground with wins over Dartford and Welling United.
Away from home, Macclesfield have lost five of their last seven on the road and they could well struggle again this afternoon against a solid-looking Grimsby outfit. I’ll therefore back the hosts to not only win today but also cover the -1 asian line in what could be a 2-0 or 3-1 home win.
Pick: Grimsby Town AH-1 @ 1.86 Bet Victor
