1st prediction for Grimsby Town vs Crewe Alexandra: Under 2.5 goals in the game 31/50

This is likely to be a cagey games between two sides with very similar records, who are separated in the league by only goal difference. Both teams have been defensively sound recently, and while Grimsby have scored a fair few, Crewe are well equipped to deal with them. Their last three league games have ended in a 1-1 draw, so they certainly know how to contain an opponent. While Grimsby are resurgent at the moment, they face a stern test in Crewe and this will likely be a close affair.

2nd prediction for Grimsby Town vs Crewe Alexandra: Final result to be a draw 21/10

Crewe love a draw at the moment, and while Grimsby have only had one this season, it looks the most likely result this weekend, There’s very little to choose between the two teams both in quality and league position, so it’s tough to pick a winner. Grimsby have form on their side though Crewe will be a challenge, with the joint best defence in the division. It looks as though both sides will cancel each other out and share the points in Lincolnshire on Saturday.

3rd prediction for Grimsby Town vs Crewe Alexandra: Both teams to score 79/100

While both sides have a strong defensive record, when taking the other predictions into account, it looks likely that both sides will nab a goal, even if it just one. Crewe have scored in each of their last fourteen, while Grimsby have scored eight in their last two. This one won’t be as much of a goal fest owing to the quality and similarity of the teams, but there will be goals. If you had to put us on the spot for a final score, it would be yet another 1-1 draw.

Full preview of the game: last results and head to head

This is an incredibly evenly matched game, with the two sides separated by a place and only goal difference between them. This is roughly par for the course for Crewe, whereas Grimsby are defying expectations after finding themselves lower down the table in previous seasons. That had been the case this year, but a strong run of late has propelled them up the table. Crewe are unbeaten since September and Grimsby since October, so both sides are in fine form, which will have to end for one team. For their previous games, Grimsby come into this match off the back of a 3-0 win over Morecambe, whereas Crewe drew 1-1 with Bradford City.

In terms of this fixture’s history, Grimsby have the upper hand. They’ve won the last three meetings by an aggregate score of 7-1, so will be hoping their good record continues.
