Indicating their partiality to fruitful encounters, the back of the net has been hit 23 times in the prior six games in which Swindon Town have taken to the pitch, yielding a mean average of 3.83 goals per clash. Opposing teams have got 9 of those goals. Having said that, we must now wait to see if such a trend might be replicated here in this game.

Team News: Grimsby Town
It doesnโt get much better regarding selection, with just a single fitness concern for the Grimsby Town manager David Artell to be concerned with thanks to an otherwise robust squad. Callum Ainley (Cancer) is out of contention.

Prediction
Weโre inclined to think that Swindon Town are likely to break down this Grimsby Town lineup, however it isnโt expected to prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.
We think that itโs 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.
