Premium Tips

Andy leans towards Grimsby, with goals also on the agenda.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Grimsby to win and over 2.5 goals7/4Grimsby have a superb recent record in this fixture, winning four of the last six meetings and racking up 17 goals against Cheltenham along the way, including a 7-1 rout and a 3-2 success. They also arrive unbeaten in League Two this season. The over 2.5 goals angle looks rock solid: every one of Cheltenham’s four league games has produced at least three goals, and Grimsby’s last two both finished 2-2. With the Mariners holding a clear edge in this matchup and Cheltenham involved in goals galore, a high-scoring away win is a strong-looking combination at Whaddon Road.
Andy Cook to score anytime and Andi Weimann over 0.5 shots on target4/1Andy Cook has been in excellent form for Grimsby, netting twice in four League Two games and hitting the target seven times as a first-choice starter, so he stands out as a leading anytime scorer against a Cheltenham defence that has conceded in every league game this season. Andreas Weimann supplies the second leg, an experienced forward in a Cheltenham side that has produced three goals or more in every League Two outing, so shooting opportunities should come his way. With Cook firing and Cheltenham creating plenty at both ends, both parts of this double rest on firm ground.

How Cheltenham go into the game

Cheltenham won a 3-2 thriller with York last time out, an entertaining if leaky home win. The Abbey will hope for more of the goals.

Dangerous going forward but open, Cheltenham will have a go. Tightening up at the back is the aim.

How Grimsby go into the game

Grimsby drew 2-2 at Accrington last time out, a lively away point. They travel to Cheltenham among the promotion fancies.

Well-organised and dangerous, Grimsby carry a real threat on the road. Three points is the target.
