They were one of League Two&#8217;s stronger sides last season, scoring 77 goals with a goal difference of plus 23, and they have home advantage over an Exeter side just relegated from League One. That points to a Grimsby win. Andy Cook adds the scorer leg. He is an aerially dominant target man who netted seven goals last season, and Grimsby&#8217;s attacking threat should give him chances at Blundell Park. The catch is his game time: he started only 18 of 24 appearances, so the scorer leg leans on him being fit and in the side.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><strong>Charles Vernam over 0.5 assists and Jayden Wareham over 0.5 shots on target<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">8\/1<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Jayden Wareham is the strong half of this bet. Exeter&#8217;s main striker fired 19 goals in League One last season from 100 shots, landing 39 on target, close to one a game. Dropping to League Two should only sharpen that, so a single effort on target is a fair ask. Charles Vernam is the tougher leg. He is Grimsby&#8217;s chief creator, with 10 goals, 10 assists and their set pieces, so the talent is there. But actual assists are low-frequency: 10 in 43 games means he set up a goal in roughly a quarter of them, so one in this match is optimistic.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button sq-ptips2-cta\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/en\/go\/william-hill?q=gb-all-tcp-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener noreferrer noopener\">Back these tips with William Hill \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sq-ptips2__foot wp-block-paragraph\">18+ only.

Blundell Park was a fortress for much of the campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Andy Cook leads the line and gives them a genuine goal threat few at this level can match. With that firepower and home advantage, the Mariners will fancy their chances of a fast start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-how-exeter-city-go-into-the-game\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Exeter City go into the game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Exeter drop into League Two after a 21st-place finish in League One, a season in which they conceded 61 goals. There is decent quality going forward, but defensive resilience will be key at this level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A long trip to face a buoyant Grimsby side is a difficult opener, and the Grecians will need to be at their best to take anything from Blundell Park. Weathering the early pressure is the priority.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"581\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12160654\/lt6_card.jpg\" alt=\"Grimsby Town vs Exeter City: 2025-26 by the numbers\" class=\"wp-image-1479215\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12160654\/lt6_card.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12160654\/lt6_card-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12160654\/lt6_card-1024x551.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12160654\/lt6_card-768x413.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12160654\/lt6_card-400x215.jpg 400w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12160654\/lt6_card-372x200.jpg 372w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12160654\/lt6_card-112x60.jpg 112w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12160654\/lt6_card-150x81.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12160654\/lt6_card-138x74.jpg 138w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-grimsby-town-vs-exeter-city-head-to-head\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Grimsby Town vs Exeter City head-to-head<\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Date<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Home<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Score<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Away<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">27\/04\/21<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Exeter City<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">3-2<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Grimsby Town<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">01\/12\/20<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Grimsby Town<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">1-4<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Exeter City<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">18\/01\/20<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Grimsby Town<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">0-1<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Exeter City<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">28\/09\/19<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Exeter City<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">1-3<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Grimsby Town<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">29\/12\/18<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Exeter City<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">1-2<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Grimsby Town<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sides last met in 2021, before Exeter&#8217;s spell in League One.
