Grimsby Town vs Gillingham Predictions

Hosts can continue their scoring form

Grimsby are an impressive attacking force at home and that should make the difference against Gillingham on Saturday. David Artell’s side have scored 14 goals in six games at Blundell Park this season, and they look a good bet to get the win here.

Gillingham are two places above Grimsby in the table, but just one point separates the two sides. Both teams have won more games than they’ve lost this season, with Gillingham third and Grimsby fifth.

Gillingham have been in patchy form recently, with two wins, two draws and two defeats in their last six League Two games. The wins came against Newport and Notts County.

Grimsby will be expecting to find the net – no team has scored more in League Two this season than their 24 goals in 12 games. They have averaged 1.40 goals a game in their five matches against other top-half teams, and have scored three or more goals in four of their 12 games overall.

Grimsby have lost just one of their last six League Two meetings with Gillingham, and the visitors have not won in three games.
Gillingham have been finding it hard to keep out their opponents lately, failing to keep a clean sheet in five of their last six League Two games. They have also gone four games without a shutout on the road.

A 2-0 home win for Grimsby looks the best correct-score bet. The last four League Two head-to-heads between these two sides have all featured fewer than three goals, and Grimsby have won two of their last three games by at least two goals.
