Recent respective form guides
Grimsby Town's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While Mighty Mariners have scored 6, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.
Bournemouth's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the Cherries have hit 7 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Grimsby Town are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 9 points from 16 matches. Bournemouth are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League Two with a return of just -3 points from their 15 games thus far.
