Recent respective form guides

Grimsby Town's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Mariners have scored 7, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Luton Town's away form is none too clever either, collecting 2 wins and 3 draws from the last six. The Hatters's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 7.

Grimsby Town are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 33 points from 31 matches. Luton Town's total of 49 points from their 30 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Nationwide League Division Two.
