Grimsby Town play host to Accrington Stanley at Blundell Park on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The Mariners have amazingly won all the 11 previous meetings.
The last time the two teams met at Grimsby Town was way back in the black-and-white days of September 1959, as they swept to an impressive 4-0 win in a Third Division match.

Recent respective form guides
Grimsby Town's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While Mariners have scored 4, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.
Accrington S.'s away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. The The Reds's have scored 8 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 10.
Grimsby Town are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 17 points from 18 matches. Accrington S. find themselves struggling down in 18th position in the league having picked up 20 points from their 18 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Grimsby Town at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Mariners will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
