Grimsby Town form and stats

Grimsby Town have played 5 National League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-0-0 (wins-draws-losses). Grimsby Town has won so many consecutive home games (six in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Blundell Park. We remember; it was Morecambe.

It's back home for Grimsby, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Bromsgrove Sporting away with the result 5-0. As mentioned above, Grimsby "killed" Bromsgrove Sporting in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Woking and winning 1-0.

The manager P. Hurst will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Wealdstone in only three days.

Grimsby Town always seem capable of creating a buzz here at Blundell Park with 16 goals in 5 league games. From these home matches, Grimsby have conceded only 4 goals.

Yeovil Town have six points from their first three away games in the National League, meaning two victories and a loss.

After this away game Yeovil Town return home for a National League game against Woking. That game is only three sleeps after this.
