Footymad preview History of the Grimsby Town v Cambridge United fixture

Grimsby Town prepare to entertain Cambridge United at Blundell Park on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Mighty Mariners are clearly on top, having won 8 and lost only 2 of the 14 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Blundell Park was less than a year ago, in February 2011, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a (Conference) Premier match.

Recent respective form guides

Grimsby Town need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Mighty Mariners have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Cambridge United's away form is none too clever either, losing just 1 from the last six, but amazingly drawing the other 5. Only 5 goals have been registered in this time, with 6 leaked at the wrong end.

Grimsby Town find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 3 games have yielded only 1 points.

Cambridge United see themselves just below half way in the Blue Square (Conference) Premier, showing a record of 4 points from their 3 games played so far,

FootyMad's prediction ...

Nothing seems to be going right for the Mighty Mariners at home recently, and we can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the U's come away with an easy victory. Away win
