Betting Insights
- The home team are the clear favourites here at 1.53, with Crawley 5.4 and the draw 4.3.
- With that in mind, there is enough in the stats to suggest we'll get more than 2.5 goals at 1.55 and both teams to score at 1.6, although the BTTS option has a greater chance of landing alongside a Grimsby win, given that they've been the more reliable of the two in the goals area.
