Team News: Grimsby Town
Almost everyone can be considered, as thereโs just the lone fitness concern for the Grimsby Town boss David Artell to be concerned about from a near full-strength set of players. Callum Ainley (Cancer) wonโt play.

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.
