Grimsby Town vs Luton Town Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

It’s a battle of two sides with promotion credentials when Grimsby host Luton in League Two this weekend, but given the inconsistencies of both sides we think the best value can be found in backing both teams to score, which is priced at 4/5 with bet365. For our correct score tip we think the two sides will cancel each other out so we are backing a 1-1 draw at 11/2 with the same site.

Looking at the history of this fixture we can see that matches that see both teams scoring is pretty common and the previous five meetings between these sides have all ended up that way. Even if we take the history of the fixture in it’s entirety the stat still stands at just under an impressive 60% finishing with both teams finding the back of the net.

A note of caution has to be issued however, as it’s not something that these sides have been guilty of very often this season. This is especially true of Grimsby, who have seen just 29% of their home games finish up this way, although the Luton stat offers a bit more hope for our tip as 61% of their games have finished with both teams scoring. With both sides desperate for the points to help in their bid towards the end of season play-offs, we can be sure that they will both be going all out for the win and although both have built their success this season on a solid defence, both have shown signs of vulnerabilities of late.
