Cambridge United vs Grimsby Town Predictions

• Cambridge United have failed to win five of their last eight League Two matches at home.
• Grimsby Town have avoided defeat in five of their last seven away League Two games.
• Cambridge United have lost three of their last five matches in League Two.

Mariners’ run commands respect of U’s

Back-to-back defeats have left the U’s still needing to take something from their final game to be assured of promotion.

Mark Bonner’s men can still win the league, secure automatic promotion or finish in the play-offs on Saturday depending on their own result and those of Bolton Wanderers and Morecambe.

The pressure associated with finishing the job appears to have affected the U’s players in those losses to Stevenage and Harrogate Town and it will only be intensified on Saturday with their rivals playing concurrently.

Grimsby are no longer burdened with any pressure at all after their relegation from the Football League was confirmed, but their mood ahead of this one has been optimistic following a boardroom takeover.

Mariners boss Paul Hurst has laid the foundations for a better campaign next year by orchestrating a run of only three defeats in their last 14 so a draw looks within their grasp.
