Bristol Rovers vs Grimsby Town Predictions

Mariners to prosper once again on their travels

Grimsby have been in good form on the road and can beat an out-of-form Bristol Rovers at the Memorial Stadium on Saturday. David Artell’s side have only lost one of their last eight League Two away games and have been winners on three of their last four.

They are 12 places and 22 points above Bristol Rovers, with the hosts 22nd in League Two and Grimsby tenth. Rovers have won eight and Grimsy have won 13 of their 32 games this season.

Bristol Rovers lost 2-0 to Oldham on Tuesday in their last League Two outing and could not break their losing habit. They have now lost 20 of the 23 games this season in which they’ve shipped the first goal (87%).

The home side look frail defensively. Bristol Rovers have conceded 25 goals at home this season in League Two – an average of 1.56 goals per game from 16 matches – and have failed to keep a clean sheet in six of their last eight league games.

The hosts’ struggles in front of goal are a major concern. No League Two team has failed to find the net in more games this season than Bristol Rovers’ total of 14, and they have only managed 15 goals in 16 home games – an average of less than a goal a game.

Bristol Rovers are struggling to get results, having lost six of their last eight League Two matches. They are now without a win in three games.

Bristol Rovers are out of form, and backing their opponents during their current run of six defeats in eight League Two games would have resulted in a profit of 4.22 units.

Grimsby can edge this, with a 1-0 correct score in favour of the visitors looking like a decent bet. Eleven of Grimsby’s last 13 League Two matches have produced under 2.5 goals and nine of their 13 victories this season have been by one goal, while Bristol Rovers have gone down by a single goal 11 times in League Two in 2025-26.
