Grimsby vs Barnet Predictions & Betting Tips, Match Previews

We like the look of a home win when Grimsby host Barnet in League Two this weekend and this is available at 17/20 with bet365. For our correct score tip we think it will be a closely fought match but think Grimsby will have enough to come out with a 2-1 win. This is available at 15/2 with the same site.

Grimsby will be delighted with their return to the Football League and with almost a third of the season gone they are in touching distance of the play-offs. Despite losing the services of promotion winning boss Paul Hurst to Shrewsbury Town they have acted quickly and brought in Marcus Bignot. Bignot initially got into management with Birmingham City Ladies but he attracted the attention of the Mariners following an impressive spell with Solihull Moors.

Barnet started the season in excellent fashion and built much of their impressive form on the back of a strong defense. Since then ,however, the wheels look like they have started to come off, the Bees have started to slip down the table and have conceded 10 goals in their previous five fixtures.

One battle within the battle to look out for is the match up the division’s two leading scorers. John Akinde leads the scoring charts with 12 goals scored so far but Grimsby’s leading marksmen Omar Bogle is the joint second highest scorer in the league with nine goals.
