The most recent encounter between these two sides at Blundell Park was less than a year ago, in February 2009, with Morecambe inflicting a narrow 2-3 defeat upon the Mighty Mariners 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 4, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.
Morecambe's away form is none too clever either, with 3 victories and just 1 loss from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 13 goals for the Shrimps, and 6 goals against.
Grimsby Town are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League Two with a return of just 16 points from their 21 games thus far. Morecambe's total of 33 points from their 21 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola League Two.

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 Shrimps come away with an easy victory. Away win
