Cheltenham Town form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Cheltenham Town's two home games in the League Two so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Jonny-Rocks Stadium.

Cheltenham are confident in defense, having played 270 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.

The Cheltenham Town supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Crawley Town in League Two and win 2-0. Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Plymouth Argyle.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Cheltenham handle that role? We have found nine games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are five wins, two draws and two defeats.

Grimsby Town form and stats

Still no away game victory in the League Two for Grimsby Town, who have the fewest scored goals (0) in League Two, with 1 draw and 1 loss from their first 2 attempts.

Grimsby aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 299 league minutes without a goal. L. Waterfall was the last player to find the net.

Grimsby are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 0-0 draw at Bolton Wanderers (placed 18th). The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-4 defeat against Salford City.

We have checked recent matches where Grimsby have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those twelve games were two victories, two draws and eight defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Grimsby now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A League Two game at Leyton Orient is waiting in only four days.

It's early days yet, but Grimsby Town has scored 0 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: five - three - two (Cheltenham wins - draws - Grimsby Town wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.
