Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Maybe it'd be too strong to say that we expect David Artell and Johnnie Jackson to park the bus here, but we certainly don't expect to see a deluge of goals as Grimsby and AFC Wim go head-to-head. The statistics belowsuggest there will be under 2.5 goals (i.e. 2 goals of fewer in total), and we think it's likely to go that way too. With best odds of 1.75 available on under 2.5 goals and no obvious match winner in sight, that's the bet we recommend.
