Grimsby Town form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their League Two travels is 5 wins, 6 draws and 7 defeats. Grimsby Town seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

The attacking players of Grimsby Town have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 186 minutes.

Grimsby Town play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-3 to Plymouth Argyle (placed 3rd). A loss against Northampton Town was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Grimsby Town did not look prepared in the first half against Plymouth Argyle and lost the game during the first 45 minutes. They need to evaluate their pre-match routine before this one.

Grimsby Town have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 18 league away games 21 goals have been scored. As opposed to that, Grimsby Town have seen the ball go into their own net 24 times on the road.
