History of the Grimsby Town v Swindon Town fixture

Swindon travel to take on Grimsby Town at Blundell Park on Tuesday evening, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 12 out of 18 times.

The last time the two teams met at Grimsby was just over four years ago, in August 1999, the Mariners carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a League Division One match.

Recent respective form guides

Grimsby Town's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Mariners have scored 8, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Swindon's away form is none too clever either, with 3 victories and just 1 loss from the last six. The Robins's have scored 9 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 10.

Grimsby find themselves struggling down in 16th position in the league having picked up 8 points from their 7 matches. Swindon's total of 12 points from their 7 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Nationwide League Division Two.
