GRIMSBY TOWN v EXETER CITY
Saturday 20th October 2018 – Kickoff: 1500hrs
Football – England – League Two Betting Tips
League Two strugglers Grimsby Town play host to high-flying Exeter City as the betting tips continue in the fourth tier at Blundell Park.
Grimsby currently sit fourth from bottom in League Two but have recently registered very welcome back-to-back wins against Carlisle United and Port Vale which has put some breathing space between themselves and the relegation zone for the time being. However, although they’re at home for this encounter, Grimsby will face tough opposition in the shape of Exeter City today.
Grimsby had previously suffered a six-match losing streak which included defeats at home to Yeovil Town, Oldham Athletic and Morecambe while their home record still stands at a disappointing 1-1-4 5/11.
Overall, Grimsby have managed just one league win at home from their last six outings and have conceded 11 goals during this sequence.
Exeter City on the other hand are currently enjoying a seven match run without defeat in League Two as they prepare for their long trip up north to Cleethorpes this Saturday afternoon. The Grecians have registered important wins over Notts County, Mansfield Town, Cheltenham Town, Stevenage and Swindon Town during this sequence.
Exeter also possess a reasonable looking away record that stands at 3-2-1 9/5 with their one defeat on their travels so far being a narrow 1-0 loss away at fourth placed MK Dons. Wins at Morecambe, Cambridge United and Mansfield Town have kept them in the hunt for occupation of one of the early automatic promotion spots.
Former Notts County forward Forte (4 goals) and League Two’s leading goalscorer, Jayden Stockley (9 goals) will provide the firepower for the visitors on Saturday afternoon as they look to keep in touch with league leaders, Lincoln City.
