Recent respective form guides
Grimsby Town's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Mighty Mariners have scored 5, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.
Bradford City's away form is none too clever either, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. The Bantams's have scored 8 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 10.
Grimsby Town are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League Two with a return of just 13 points from their 17 games thus far. Bradford City's 23 points from 17 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th position.
