Recent respective form guides

Grimsby Town have had an average home run of late, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. While Mighty Mariners have scored 8, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Grimsby Town find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 38 points from their 33 matches. Wrexham are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 31 points from 32 matches.
