Grimsby Town vs Cambridge United Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Grimsby made the controversial decision to terminate the contract of manager Marcus Bignot this week, following reports of some dressing room unrest. Bignot was at the club for just five months and his sacking came just 48 hours after they upset play-off hopefuls Blackpool in a 3-1 win. The reaction to the news has been met with confusion and anger by many Grimsby fans and that combination may mean a poisonous atmosphere when they host Cambridge on Friday.

With much of the focus on the players and their actions, coupled with the fact that Cambridge have to win to keep their play-off hopes alive, we are backing an away win at 6/5 with bet365. For our correct score tip we think that it will be quite a nervy affair as neither team wants to make a mistake, so we are backing a low scoring 1-0 away win at 11/2 with the same site.

Cambridge go into this match in good spirits after they were able to secure back to back victories with their dominant win over struggling Leyton Orient last weekend. Even though Orient look dead and buried in League Two, that result will have given United huge confidence and the fact that they are now facing another club going through a crisis means that we should expect them to add another three points to their tally. Cambridge also boast an excellent away record and they have won half of their games on their travels this term.
