1st Prediction For Crewe Alexandra vs Grimsby Town: Match Result – Grimsby Town – 13/8
Crewe are on a run of 3 losses in 4 games in Cheshire, since recording successive victories at the start of the season. That leaves the Railwaymen with the 14th-best home record in League Two, taking 9 points from 18 on offer. Alexandra took maximum points from their first 4 games, but have now lost 6 of their last 9 games across all venues.
Grimsby are among the best travellers in the fourth tier this season, with only 3 sides taking more points this term. Despite recording a rare away defeat in the capital last month, their first of the season, they quickly responded with their third away victory from 6 at Salford City. Defeating 2 of the 3 sides above them on their own turf this campaign, David Artell’s outfit will be confident of another win on the road.
And, with that in mind, expect Grimsby to continue their pressure on the automatic promotion places with another 3 points on Saturday afternoon.
2nd Prediction For Crewe Alexandra vs Grimsby Town: Under 2.5 Goals – 9/10
Twice drawing a blank in their last 4 home games, Crewe have averaged a goal a game from their 6 encounters at Gresty Road. But, only a handful of sides have scored fewer times on their own patch this season than the Railwaymen. But, by conceding 7 goals, they are one of the better sides in that department, after keeping 2 clean sheets in their first 2 matches.
Grimsby are the second top scorers in League Two this season, with 25, of which 10 have come on their travels. But, their 9 against ranks them much lower in comparison with their fourth-tier rivals. That therefore makes the number of goals very difficult to call this weekend, but expect this to be an encounter with a few goals.
3rd Prediction For Crewe Alexandra vs Grimsby Town: Both Teams To Score – No – 23/20
Since Crewe kept 2 clean sheets in the opening month of the season, and then failed to net in successive games, they have found a middle ground. Six of their 9 games since have seen both teams score, including 3 of their last 4 league games. But, on home soil this term, that has only been the case in 2 of their 7 games across all competitions.
Three of the Mariners’ 4 games this month have seen both sides find the scoresheet, with the only outlier coming in their defeat against Colchester United. It had been a rather different story in the 2 months prior to that, with 9 of their 14 games across all competitions seeing two teams find the back of the net. But this weekend, expect this game to continue Grimsby’s current habit on this front.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head:
After their stunning start to the season, Crewe’s form has taken a tumble ever since. Ten points in as many games since putting 4 past Fleetwood Town leaves them with a bottom 5 record since mid-August, despite winning back-to-back games in the past month. But those victories against Notts County, ironically the side with the best record in the last 10 games, and Harrogate Town, are their only league triumphs in that time period.
The Vertu Trophy has been a rather different story, though, with their progress effectively sealed with a game to spare. The Railwaymen put 7 past league rivals Chesterfield, before easing to victory against Liverpool U21’s. Lee Bell’s side have an FA Cup encounter against Doncaster Rovers next up before hosting Shrewsbury Town in League Two.
Grimsby Town know a thing or two about scoring 7 goals, having done so themselves against Cheltenham Town at the end of September. The Mariners have beaten 2 fellow promotion-chasers this month, Salford City and Gillingham, without conceding a goal. They were frustratingly defeated by Colchester United, while they were comprehensively defeated in North London against Barnet last month.
While David Artell’s side are already out of the EFL Trophy, the Carabao Cup has taken centre stage following their giant-killing in August. Defeating Manchester United was a famous result, along with edging Sheffield Wednesday in Round Three, which has set up a tie against Premier League Brentford at Blundell Park next Tuesday. After that, the FA Cup takes priority with Ebbsfleet United the visitors to Cleethorpes, before completing a hat-trick of home cup games against Everton U21’s.
