FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been a distinctly poor show from Grimsby Town at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Mighty Mariners will at least gain a draw. No-score draw

Sequence statistics:
Grimsby Town Not drawn a match in their last 3 .
Burton Albion Not won in previous 3 away matches.
