After losing to AFC Wimbledon 1-0 in League Two in their previous match, Grimsby Town will be looking for a better outcome this time around. The AFC Wimbledon goal was scored by Ethan Chislett (60′). In recent months, Grimsby Town’s offensive performance has been lacking. Over their last six games, they’ve only scored four goals against other clubs.
Otis Khan, a winger who has started the previous seven games and scored twice in an FA Cup triumph against Cambridge, could start on the left wing this time around, with Brendan Kiernan on the other flank attempting to set up John McAtee as the lone striker. Elliott Nevitt replaced Paul Lewis during the road game against Northampton, and despite the fact that he did not score.
Prediction
Although it is doubtful that Tranmere Rovers will let up as many goals as Grimsby Town, we believe that they should have enough opportunities to score against them.
We predict a very competitive game, with Grimsby Town winning 2-1 at the end. It ought to be intriguing.
If Doncaster Rovers are to get anything out of a difficult journey to Newport County in pursuit of their first league victory, they will once again depend on leading scorer George Miller.
However, with both teams presently residing in League Two’s middle of the pack mediocrity, a sharing of the spoils may be the most likely result.
