Regarding absentees, there’s just one fitness concern for the Grimsby Town manager David Artell to contend with thanks to an otherwise robust set of players. Callum Ainley (Cancer) is out of contention.

🔮 Prediction

We’re inclined to think that Swindon Town are likely to break down this Grimsby Town lineup, however it isn’t expected to prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

We think that it’s going to be both teams to score in a 2-1 victory for Grimsby Town when the full-time whistle blows. Should be an interesting one.
