In-Depth Betting Tips and Predictions for Notts County vs Grimsby Town

Notts County have not started the season in the way they would’ve hoped to. They dew 0-0 on the opening day with Tranmere Rovers, before a loss in the EFL Cup away to Shrewsbury, and a 2-2 draw at home to Fleetwood Town. Their Grimsby Town on the other hand have won their last two games. However, we’re backing the home side to win on Thursday night.

Notts County do usually use their home advantage to their advantage in fixtures like these. Just like they did last season when they beat Grimsby 3-2 at home.

It’s also worth noting that if it was down to away form, Grimsby Town would have been relegated from League Two last season. They only gained 17 points on the road the entire campaign. Whereas at home, Notts County were 11th in the league whilst away they were 14th. The Notts are a better side at home, and Grimsby are worse on the road.

Notts County are also showing signs of progression this season. In their recent draw with Fleetwood, they had some great stats:

• 78% Possession
• 24 Attempts on Goal (compared to 12)
• 168 Attacks Created (compared to 55)

They only time that Grimsby have played away from home this season, they lost 1-0 to Fleetwood Town.

If the Notts are able to sort out their defence, we think this is one of the most valuable games for Thursday night.
