Grimsby Town and Northampton Town have met many times, and the last time they met in Feb 2023 it was Grimsby who went away and won 2-1 on home soil, but this time the shape of the game is different, because both come in having not won for a long time. Grimsby have gone 5 matches without a win, losing their latest league game 0-1 at home, with the attack blunt throughout, while Northampton have also not won in 4 straight matches, but their season stats still give them something to hold onto, even though they have scored only 4 goals from 8 matches and conceded 7. This game is likely to be one where both are cautious and wait for a mistake from the other side. What to watch is how well Northampton can set up defensively to handle Grimsby's attacking game in the first half.
