Grimsby Town, Recent FormGrimsby Town had to make do with a share of the points in their last match, with a 1-1 draw against Newport County.
It seems pretty certain that Paul Hurst will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 6 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 8 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. Unable to deliver a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, it's fair to say they have their troubles at the back.
There will be mixed feelings from The Mariners, although undefeated in their last 3 league games at home, 3 of these games ended in a draw.
Otis Khan will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Grimsby Town.
Rochdale, Recent FormRochdale will be feeling reasonably confident about this match, having secured a 2-0 home win against Stevenage in their last league encounter.
Manager Jim Bentley will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 6 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 8 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. Up front, they have been showing a certain level of consistency in breaching their opponents' defences, with goals netted in 5 of their last 6 outings. As defensive records go, they don't have one to celebrate, with at least 1 goal shipped in 30 of their 35 league matches this season.
They've had a poor run of form on the road recently, losing 3 of their last 6 away games and managing only 1 win.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Rochdale, Ian Henderson will be looking to add more goals against Grimsby Town in this match.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Rochdale, losing 0-1 to Grimsby Town.
The Dale have managed to keep a clean sheet against Grimsby in each of their previous 2 visits to Blundell Park. Playing away from home, Rochdale have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Grimsby. In their past 5 meetings, Rochdale's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so The Mariners will have to take their chances when they come.
In the league, Grimsby has not won any of the last 4 times they have welcomed Rochdale to Blundell Park.
With no real injury worries, Grimsby manager Paul Hurst will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Rochdale manager Jim Bentley has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
