- Alex Newby has six in eight appearances for York and has an assist to boot.
- Ollie Pearce has scored four of the Minstermen's eight goals across the last five matches.
Betting Insights
- Scott Lindsey has been in charge of York since July 2026, and his 3-4-2-1 has added a real spark to the Minstermen's play, especially through the wing-backs and half-space overloads.
- The Mariners are the slight favorites for this game at 2.28 and York are priced at 2.78.
- We're going to side with the goals in this one with over 2.5 goals at 1.65 and both teams to score at 1.53.
- York's away scoring record stands at just 1.00 goal per game in League Two 2026/2027, but they concede 1.60 on average on the road.
- Lindsey's high-tempo system will challenge Grimsby's compact shape, while the Mariners will punish them on the counterattack.
- Grimsby have lost their last two home games, so the home advantage isn't a factor in this encounter.
Prediction
- Given York's unbeaten run and Grimsby's recent mixed home form, this looks like a match where both teams will find chances.
- The combination of York's attacking edge and defensive vulnerability on the road supports a bet on both teams to score at 1.53.
- The expectation of openings at both ends underpins the selection of over 2.5 goals at 1.65 as the headline play.
