Premium Tips

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Grimsby Town to win4/5 (William Hill)Grimsby are unbeaten in League Two, sit third and arrive on the back of 2-0 wins over Bristol Rovers and Crawley. Newport are 19th and have won once all season, 3-0 against Rochdale on the opening day. Grimsby have drawn all three away games so far, so this needs them to turn draws into wins, but William Hill’s 4/5 backs the better side.
Andy Cook to score anytime6/4 (Sky Bet)Andy Cook has two League Two goals this season, against Fleetwood and Accrington, and Grimsby have scored in six of their seven league games. Newport have conceded 11 goals and kept only two clean sheets, and they shipped five at Bristol Rovers in August. Sky Bet’s 6/4 on Cook is a fair price in a game Grimsby should control.

How Newport County go into the game

Newport have made a difficult start and sit 19th on six points, with one win from seven League Two games.

Rodney Parade has been kinder. They beat Rochdale 3-0 there on the opening day and have drawn 2-2 with Tranmere and 1-1 with Fleetwood since, so they are unbeaten at home.

The damage has come on the road, with a 5-3 defeat at Bristol Rovers, a 2-1 loss at Salford and a 1-0 defeat at Northampton. Back-to-back draws with Fleetwood and Accrington have steadied things since.

How Grimsby Town go into the game

Grimsby are one of four unbeaten sides in League Two and sit third on 13 points after back-to-back 2-0 home wins over Bristol Rovers and Crawley.

Blundell Park has been the base of their start, with three wins and a draw from four games and just two goals conceded.

On the road they have drawn all three, 0-0 at Walsall and 2-2 at both Accrington and Cheltenham. Kieran Green leads their scoring with three goals, one more than Andy Cook.
