Grimsby Town welcome Tranmere Rovers at Blundell Park, Cleethorpes, North East Lincolnshire on Friday, Jan 1 at 4:00 PM in a League 2 fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.
Grimsby Town come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Tranmere Rovers travel drawing too many games (3D in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
In 10 previous meetings, Grimsby Town lead 2–4 with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Grimsby Town a slight edge, but Tranmere Rovers are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
