Grimsby Town play host to Hereford United at Blundell Park on Sunday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 2 of the 6 previous games, with the Mariners winning just 1.
The last time the two teams met at Grimsby Town was well over fifteen years ago, back in September 1989, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a Fourth Division match.

Hereford Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Bulls have hit 5 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.

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 Mariners will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
