Grimsby Town prepare to entertain Notts. County at Blundell Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Mighty Mariners are clearly on top, having won 21 and lost only 6 of the 39 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Blundell Park was just last season, in December 2008, with Notts. County inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Mighty Mariners in a League Two match.

Recent respective form guides
Grimsby Town will be hoping to improve on their poor home form, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. While Mighty Mariners have scored 4, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.
Notts. County's away form is none too clever either, with a marvellous return of five wins and one defeat from the last six. Those games have seen the Magpies pummel 14 goals, and let in 4.
Grimsby Town are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League Two with a return of just 20 points from their 27 games thus far. Notts. County are just outside the promotion places, in 5th, having taken 43 points from 24 games.

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 Magpies come away with an easy victory. Away win
