Grimsby Town Preview – Can Grimsby gain another vital win?
A narrow 1-0 home win over fellow bottom half opponents, Scunthorpe United, on the weekend in League Two ended Grimsby’s previous slump of five league matches without a win in the fourth tier and helped The Mariners up into 19th place on the League Two ladder.
That welcome win also put further daylight between Grimsby and second from bottom Stevenage as the hosts now possess a more comfortable looking six-point cushion above the relegation zone and the visit of 21st placed Bradford City represents another opportunity for Gromsby to collect another vital three points.
However, an overall home record of 2-2-4 6/14 doesn’t exactly inspire confidence especially as their two wins have been against bottom half opposition but lack of goals may be an angle here; five of Grimsby’s eight home matches have resulted in under 2.5 goals.
Bradford City Preview – Can Bradford also win back-to-back?
Tuesday night’s visitors, Bradford City, also helped ease their relegation fears with a much-needed 1-0 home win over 9th placed Cambridge United on the weekend after having suffered a miserable seven-match sequence without a win in the fourth tier.
Within this worrying slump were five defeats as The Bantams suffered losses against Salford City, Leyton Orient, Cheltenham Town, Carlisle United and Oldham Athletic, while results away from home have also been pretty ordinary.
Bradford have picked up just one away win all season to date amidst an away record which stands at 1-2-5 7/13 which was an early season win at Mansfield Town but the visitors have failed to win any of their subsequent six matches on the road; four of Bradford’s eight away matches have also resulted in under 2.5 goals though.
