Best Tip: Grimsby to win

As training goes on this week and the Grimsby players ready themselves for this clash, the bookmakers have predicted a win for them. The odds and our pre-match statistics below point in that direction too, as does the historical head-to-head (H2H) record we take advantage of in our predictive algorithms. The Blundell Park hasn't been a happy hunting ground for for Newport in the past, and we we think that will be the case again on Saturday afternoon. A win / draw / win home win is the way to go.
