Swindon vs Grimsby Town Predictions

It has been profitable backing Swindon at odds-on this season, and they are worth backing again when they are favourites away to Grimsby on Saturday. Ian Holloway’s side have won eight of their 12 games as favourites, resulting in a 4.05-unit profit.

Swindon are top of the league, having won nine of their 16 games so far, while Grimsby are tenth with seven wins from 16 matches. There have been 45 games between teams in the top half of League Two this season, and 22 (49%) have gone the way of the home team, for a profit of 6.28 points to a one-point level stake.

Swindon are unbeaten in their last six home games in League Two. They have lost just one of their last nine on home turf.

The visitors have been vulnerable defensively of late. Grimsby have failed to keep a clean sheet in 12 of their last 15 League Two games and have conceded 14 goals away from home this season – an average of 1.75 goals per game from eight matches.

Swindon’s supporters have had plenty of goals to celebrate so far this season, with the team scoring two or more goals in ten of their 16 League Two games. They have also been prolific against other top-half teams, averaging 1.86 goals a game overall and 1.75 at home.

The away side are enduring a rough spell. Grimsby are without a win in three League Two games.

Swindon have won the last two League Two meetings with Grimsby by two or more goals and a 2-0 home win looks a decent correct-score option.
