Grimsby Town prepare to entertain Macclesfield Town at Blundell Park on Tuesday evening, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. Though history would suggest this fixture as being a 'banker' draw for the Mighty Mariners.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Blundell Park was less than a year ago, in May 2009, when they played out a goalless draw in a League Two match.

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
