Grimsby Town, Recent FormWhen Grimsby Town last played in the league they faced Crewe Alexandra and produced an outstanding 3-0 away win.
Their boss Paul Hurst is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 13 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 9 goals scored. They have recently found some good scoring form at home, hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at Blundell Park. Paul Hurst will be slightly concerned about his defence, after only managing 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games.
In terms of results, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for Grimsby recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games.
Goalscorer Otis Khan will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Grimsby Town.
Colchester United, Recent FormColchester United will not be too disappointed to take a point from their 1-1 result against Barrow last time out.
Manager Matt Bloomfield will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 9 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 7 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. With goals notched up in 5 of their past 6 matches, they are certainly showing some goal-scoring consistency of late. Away from home they have not had their troubles to seek, with at least 1 goal conceded in 14 of their last 15 away league matches this season, making points hard to come by on the road.
They have shown a decent streak of form away from home recently, having put together 4 wins on the trot on their travels and are now enjoying an unbeaten run of 4 straight matches.
On an individual basis, Junior Tchamadeu is giving Colchester United's travelling fans plenty to shout about having scored 3 goals in the squad's last 6 away games in the league.
It was one to forget for Colchester United last time they met Grimsby Town in the league, falling to a 0-1 defeat.
In their last 2 league meetings with Grimsby, The U's have not been on scoring form, not managing a single goal.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met at Blundell Park in the league, but Grimsby will take some small comfort in being unbeaten in their last 6 meetings there.
With no real injury worries, Grimsby manager Paul Hurst will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Colchester manager Matt Bloomfield has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
