Grimsby Town are welcoming Bradford City for another important game after their 1-0 result against 18th-placed Scunthorpe United.
- Grimsby Town has the most conceded goals in the first half (18) in League Two
- Bradford City have failed to keep a clean sheet in all their away matches.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Grimsby and Bradford City.
Grimsby Town form and stats
With 2 League Two wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Grimsby Town are certainly not brimming with confidence.
Grimsby's previous game was a League Two match also played at home, ending 1-0 versus Scunthorpe United (placed 18th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Heartbreak before that as Grimsby lost 1-3 at Southend United's place.
There will be little rest for Grimsby after this match as they are travelling to Morecambe for a League Two game in only four days.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Grimsby Town here at Blundell Park in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (6 from 8 games). Grimsby have conceded 14 from these games.
Bradford City form and stats
There's been little loot from Bradford City's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 8 away games in the League Two. Bradford City only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 2 draws.
The supporters enjoyed Bradford's previous game versus Cambridge United (placed 9th), a League Two 1-0 win played at home. A 1-1 draw at Crawley Town's stadium before that.
The schedule is very tough for Bradford City now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A League Two game at Tranmere Rovers is waiting in only four days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Bradford as they have only managed to score 7 times from 8 away games in the league. Bradford have conceded 13 goals in these games.
