It's still early in the League Two season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Grimsby Town - Port Vale preview!

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 Town and Port Vale.

Grimsby Town form and stats

Grimsby Town are yet to win a home game, having collected 2 points from their first two games.

The points were shared in Grimsby Town's previous game, also at home. Visiting Colchester United travelled back with a point after a 2-2 scoreline. Prior to that, an away loss at Forest Green Rovers.

This is expected to be a close game, with Grimsby Town perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Grimsby Town as a small favourite), we find 14 games. Grimsby Town has won 4 of these, drawn 5 and lost 5.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Carabao Cup game versus Macclesfield Town in only three days. This game is also played here at Blundell Park.

Grimsby Town has scored 3 goals so far and conceded 3 goals from 2 home games.

Port Vale form and stats

Things could have gone better for Port Vale in their away games, but 2 points from 2 games is all right. Visiting Port Vale has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.

The supporters enjoyed Port Vale's previous game versus Forest Green Rovers, a League Two 2-1 win played at home. Before that, Port Vale travelled to Salford City and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Port Vale playing away and similar expectations, we found 16 relevant matches. Results were 4 Port Vale wins, 7 draws and 5 defeats.

Port Vale has the goal stats of 2-2 (for/against) from 2 business trips at the early stages of this season.

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings between the teams: Grimsby Town won 5, Port Vale won 3 and 2 draws. 5 games with over 2,5 goals, 5 matches with two goals or less.
