Grimsby Town vs Crawley Town Predictions

• Crawley lost 14 of their away games last season
• Grimsby were victorious on 20 occasions last term
• 14 of Grimsby’s 20 wins were by a single goal

Life in League Teo may be tough for Crawley

Crawley‘s stay in League One lasted just one season and they are big candidates to suffer back-to-back relegations as they could struggle to stop the downward spiral.

There was an exodus of players over the summer and while they have made some interesting signings, they will take some time to gel.

There have been off the field issues for the team too and they may struggle against Grimsby in their opening game of the season.

The Mariners narrowly missed out on the play-offs last season but have taken big leaps forward under manager David Artell and are real promotion contenders this time around.

Jamie Walker and Zak Gilsenan are both top additions who will add to a settled squad.

This is a talented group that is more than the sum of its parts and should be able to start the campaign with a victory.

Hosts to come out on top

Crawley lost 14 of their away games last season and may struggle on the road once more against a progressive side. Take the hosts to start the season with a win.

Fourteen of Grimsby’s 20 League Two victories last season were by a single goal and a repeat of that is fancied, a 1-0 win for the Mariners is the pick.
