Grimsby Town host Scott Lindsay’s MK Dons side, with both teams looking to add points to their tally as they join the early fight for promotion up to the third tier of English football.
Our Three Predictions For Grimsby Town vs MK Dons
- First prediction: Over 1.5 goals scored – 2.53
- Second prediction: Both teams to score – 1.60
- Third prediction: Match to end in a draw – 3.40
First Prediction For Grimsby Town vs MK Dons: Over 1.5 goals scored – 2.53
While Grimsby are currently in a playoff position, their best attribute is certainly not defending. They rank third worst in League Two for goals conceded, keeping just three clean sheets this season. However, David Artell’s side has demonstrated scoring ability, netting 17 goals in the league and failing to score only twice. Similarly, MK Dons have also shown they can find the net, scoring one more goal than Grimsby but failing to score in four matches. Given both teams’ defensive vulnerabilities and offensive strengths, this match could be a high-scoring affair. As a result, many betting sites in UK are offering appealing odds for over 1.5 goals in the match.
Second Prediction For Grimsby Town vs MK Dons: Both teams to score – 1.60
As previously mentioned, the Mariners have only failed to score against one opponent so far in the league, and that was against Doncaster Rovers, a side currently sitting fourth. This good goalscoring form should give the players the confidence they need to break down a strong Dons defence. As for MK Dons themselves, with the attacking options they possess, they should be finding a way through Grimsby’s defence, which seems to be a glaringly obvious weak point of Artell’s side at the moment.
Third Prediction For Grimsby Town vs MK Dons: Match to end in a draw – 3.40
Analyzing the odds from the best betting football sites suggests that this matchup could be a key indicator of Grimsby’s ability to compete. Their current league position is not to be taken lightly, and their form has got better since Lindsay took over at Stadium MK. The Dons have drawn three matches this season, one of which has come away from home. Surprisingly, Grimsby’s away form is better than their home form, and with Lindsay’s side posing a threat on the road, a draw between two top sides could be in order here.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results and Head-to-Head
Both sides’ recent form has been very good. MK Dons have seen improvement under Lindsay, losing only one of their previous five matches, winning three and drawing one. For Grimsby, although they sit five places higher than their opponents in this clash, they come into this game on the back of two losses in their last five. Both teams will undoubtedly back themselves to come away with three points, and they have the opportunity to record back-to-back league wins. Given the context, our predictions suggest that this match could be closely contested.
Grimsby and MK Dons have faced each other a few times, the last outing happening earlier this year. Grimsby took all three points of MK Dons last time out, a goal from Justin Obikwu proving vital for the hosts as they narrowly avoided relegation to the National League. The visitors for this clash have never won against Grimsby, with two matches ending in Grimsby’s favour and two others ending in honours being even after 90 minutes.
