Crewe Alexandra vs Grimsby Town Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

The relegation zone is getting closer and closer for a massively out of form Crewe side and we’re backing their troubles to continue when they host Grimsby this weekend, an away win is priced at 5/4 with bet365. For our correct score tip we think that it will be a low scoring affair and we are backing Grimsby to take a 1-0 win home with them at 13/2 with the same site.

It’s now 11 games in a row where Crewe have failed to win and with just a handful of points separating them from the drop zone and the sides around them starting to pick up points, new boss David Artell knows his side will have to turn around their form quickly if they are to avoid relegation. Crewe have the worst offensive record in the division and they have failed to score in 38% of their matches, so a Grimsby clean sheet is also worth a look at 7/4 with bet365.

Grimsby have been in pretty decent form of late and have taken 14 points from their last eight games. A run at the play-offs looks unlikely but they should be in no danger of being dragged into a relegation dog fight as we enter the business end of the season. They have built much of their success on the back of a solid defence and with just 34 goals conceded in their 29 games so far this season they have a record which is only bettered by eight teams in League Two. The Mariners have also kept a clean sheet in 43% of their away games this season, which further strengthens the case of them keeping a clean sheet once again this weekend.
