Grimsby Town prepare to entertain Darlington at Blundell Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Mighty Mariners are clearly on top, winning 56.00% of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Blundell Park was less than a year ago, in December 2007, where Darlington annihilated the Mighty Mariners 0-4 in a League Two match.

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 5, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.
Darlington's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The games have constituted a decent return of 12 goals for the The Quakers, and 3 goals against.
Grimsby Town are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 6 points from 14 matches. Darlington are holding the final promotion place in the Coca-Cola League Two, and have accumulated 25 points from the 14 games they have played so far.

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