Match description
Grimsby Town enters the match as 8th in the table while Harrogate sit 24th; over the season Grimsby have scored 56 and conceded 40, whereas Harrogate have only 29 scored and 60 conceded. Recent form over the last 5 matches clearly favors the hosts: Grimsby are 3-1-1 (averaging 2 points per match), Harrogate 1-0-4 (0.6 pts per match). At Grimsby’s ground the average goals scored is 1.65 per game with xG 1.83 and 5.75 shots on target, while Harrogate away average 0.85 goals with xG 1.07 and only 3.2 shots on target, indicating a clear superiority in both quality and quantity of chances for the hosts. Defensively Grimsby concede 0.85 goals at home and keep clean sheets in 40% of matches, while Harrogate concede 1.35 goals away and have only 20% clean sheets and are shut out in 30% of away games, further weakening their prospects. Therefore I predict a home win (70% vs 18% draw, 12% away win).
