Grimsby vs York preview – League Two | Saturday 31 October, 12:30 GMT

York arrive at Blundell Park with the clearer recent record: they sit fifth in League Two on 20 points while Grimsby are 12th on 17, and Saturday’s 12:30 GMT kick-off on Saturday 31 October at 12:30 GMT sets up a fixture between a high-flying, hard-to-break-down York and an inconsistent Grimsby side that will be buoyed by a 4-1 away win last time out.

Fan Banter prediction · 90 minutes

90-minute pick: Grimsby 1–1 York

Given York’s consistency in picking up draws (three in their last five) and Grimsby’s recent spike in scoring combined with overall inconsistency, a draw is the most likely outcome. The evidence shows York have a points edge (20 to 17) and a slightly better season goal difference (+6 to +3), while Grimsby’s last result suggests they can threaten on the break — a 1–1 stalemate reflects those facts.

What to expect

Grimsby’s form is unstable: three straight league defeats were followed by a credible 4–1 away win, so home supporters will hope that win provides momentum. York have been hard to beat lately — three draws in the middle of their five-match run and a 2–0 home win on 24 October underline a team that picks up points steadily and has a +6 goal difference for the season. Expect an organised York team to try to steady the match while Grimsby will look to build on the attacking output that produced four goals last time out.
