Grimsby Town prepare to entertain Bradford City at Blundell Park on Tuesday evening, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 11 of the 27 previous games, with the Mighty Mariners winning just 10.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Blundell Park was just last season, in October 2008, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-3 winners in a League Two match.

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.
