Salford City vs Grimsby Town Prediction

It’s the international break ladies and gentlemen, but that doesn’t mean we’re giving up on our expert tips, instead we’ve done our research on the remaining EFL fixtures.

We’re taking a look at Saturday’s fixture, where Karl Robinson’s Salford host David Artell’s Grimsby.

Key Stats

• Salford have scored one in their last four
• Grimsby haven’t drawn yet this season
• Grimsby, despite losing their last two, did go on a run of three wins previously

Team Previews, Form, and Standout Players

Both teams have had inconsistent starts to the season. Grimsby have looked really good in patches, while being really disappointing in other games.

Salford are the same, and have often struggled to score.

Salford City Preview

Salford City Predicted Line-up - Jamie Jones; Haji Mnoga, Stephan Negru, Josh Austerfield; Jon Taylor, Ossama Ashley, Tyrese Fornah, Luke Garbutt; Kelly N'Mai; Kylian Kouassi, Junior Luamba

Salford will likely stick pretty close to the line-up that earned them an impressive win over AFC Wimbledon, just replacing Cole Stockton with Junior Luamba.

Despite their impressive win, they’ve struggled to score in other fixtures, a trend which may continue.

If Kelly N’Mai can create chances, they might score more goals.

Grimsby Town Preview

Grimsby Town Predicted Line-up - Jackson Smith; Tyrell Warren, Lewis Cass, Cameron McJannet, Denver Hume; George McEachran; Jason Dadi Svanthorsson, Kieran Green, Evan Khouri, Luca Barrington; Danny Rose

Whilst Grimsby have been very inconsistent, they’ll still be reasonably happy with their overall performances this season.

They haven’t drawn yet this season which has made for exciting viewing so far, and I can’t see them drawing here.

Jason Dadi Svanthorsson will be back in the lineup, and will be key for the away team.

Final Prediction: Salford City vs Grimsby Town

Salford City 0-2 Grimsby Town

Unfortunately for Salford, their good win over Wimbledon will be forgotten with a loss to Grimsby on the horizon.

This fixture takes place in League one, but we think Birmingham will walk the division above.
