Grimsby Town face a trip to Accrington Stanley at Fraser Eagle Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Mighty Mariners will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in April 2007, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4 - 1 thriller, in a League Two match.

Recent respective form guides
Accrington Stanley's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While The Reds have scored 9, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.
Grimsby Town's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Mighty Mariners have hit 7 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Accrington S. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 4 games have yielded only 3 points. Grimsby Town are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 3 points from 4 matches.
