Bury vs Grimsby Town Predictions

It has not been the sort of start to the season that Bury and Grimsby Town will have been hoping for when the fixture list was released a few months ago, but both sides have the opportunity to kick start their season when they come face to face at Gigg Lane this weekend.

Following their relegation from League One last season, Bury will have been hoping for a strong start to the campaign in order to help their bid for an immediate return to the third tier. However, they have lost three of their opening seven outings and with their only clean sheet coming on the opening day of the season, it is clear where their troubles can be found.

Visiting Gigg Lane this weekend is a Grimsby Town side who will be hoping their victory over Notts County in the Checkatrade Trophy midweek will be enough to kick start their season. The Mariners have only managed to claim one victory in the league, a 2-0 win over recently promoted Macclesfield Town, and they have failed to score in both of their previous two league matches.

Given that neither side are at their free-flowing best at present, the win-draw-win market is not an area we would recommend. Instead, we think that the fact that Bury have seen both teams score in each of their last six matches is a key indication in what might happen in this fixture. Our confidence in this tip is bolstered by the fact that the visitors recorded a morale boosting victory midweek and should come into this fixture with the belief they have what it takes to record all three points.
