Grimsby Town (home)
- Grimsby have won 7, drawn 4 and lost 5 of their 16 home League Two matches this season.
- The Mariners currently sit 11th in League Two with 52 points from 33 games, while Bromley are top of the table with an incredible 68 points from 34 matches, and the gap in quality will be evident when the two sides face off.
- Artell has imposed a clear identity on his Grimsby team, who play with a back four and a three-man central midfield that he can set to dominate the ball or sit deep.
- They have wide players with good energy to come forward, but they have been more of a possession-based team than a direct one under Artell.
Bromley (away)
- Bromley are unbeaten in 5 League Two games (W2, D3).
- The visitors set up to be compact, with players who are quick in transition, and they have several players capable of posing a threat from set pieces.
- Michael Cheek is the main man in their attack with 16 goals in 34 League Two appearances, and he has been in clinical form of late with two goals in his last 5 appearances.
Head-to-Head
Bromley have never won away at Grimsby Town, so there is added spice to this fixture, which will test the patience of Grimsby’s midfield against a side that have proven they can unlock the best defences in the division.
Top scorers
- Michael Cheek is the main man in their attack with 16 goals in 34 League Two appearances, and he has been in clinical form of late with two goals in his last 5 appearances.
- Grimsby have the perfect man to counter Cheek in Jaze Kabia, who is the highest scorer in the Mariners’ ranks in League Two with 9 goals in 33 games, but the visitors have the overall quality to secure the win.
Betting Insights
Over 2.5 goals at 1.98 and Both Teams to Score - Yes at 1.76 are also top odds as both teams have found their goal scoring boots of late with Andy Cook hitting three of Grimsby’s five goals in their last five matches.
Prediction
Grimsby are unbeaten in two at home (W1, D1), while Bromley are undefeated in two on the road (W1, D1), but the best bet here is to take the away win at 3.14 .
