Recent respective form guides
Chester City's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While Blues have scored 4, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.
Grimsby Town's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Mighty Mariners have hit 5 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Chester City are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 27 points from 37 matches. Grimsby Town are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League Two with a return of just 26 points from their 36 games thus far.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Not a lot has been going right generally for Grimsby Town on their travels as of late, but I can certainly see them gleaning a point from their game against Chester City. No-score draw
