- Venue: Northern Commercials Stadium
Grimsby Town will be looking for their first away win of the new English fourth division campaign when they make the trip to the Northern Commercials Stadium this weekend to face Bradford City.
Having finished sixth last season, Bradford City were expected to build on that this season and perhaps gain promotion. So far there have been mixed results, with wins followed by defeats or draws. However, Mark Hughes' side have shown their home strength this season, winning all two of their home games so far.
Grimsby Town achieved their best finish in this league last year, 12th, and are currently languishing around the same spot. One of the biggest weaknesses of Paul Hurst's side is their away record. The Mariners have yet to win an away game this season (three defeats, one draw).
Bradford City vs Grimsby Town Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
The absence of goals has been the major headline in games featuring Bradford so far this season. Mark Hughes' men have taken part in eight games so far and only two ended with more than 2.5 goals.
Grimsby may have problems away from home, but their defence is good. They conceded under 1.5 goals in five of their six league games so far. In as many games, bets on the "under 2.5 goals" option have been won.
One further reason we're expecting a close game is that the most recent encounters between Bradford and Grimsby were very tight. More than 2.5 goals were scored in only two of the last eight encounters.

Grimsby Town team news
Grimsby coach Paul Hurst is expected to resist the temptation to make changes to the side that was on the pitch from kick-off in last weekend's win over Gillingham.
Thus, Gavan Holohan and Niall Maher who scored their first goals of the season in that game, will retain their places in attack and defence respectively.
Abo Eisa is the club's top scorer with four goals and will again partner Danny Rose, who has only scored one goal this season, in the final third.
