Grimsby Town prepare to entertain Lincoln City at Blundell Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Mighty Mariners are clearly on top, having won 26 and lost only 9 of the 48 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Blundell Park was less than a year ago, in March 2009, with Grimsby Town annihilating their visitors 5-1 in a League Two match.

Lincoln City's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the The Red Imps have hit 4 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.

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 Mighty Mariners will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
