Bitesize Prediction: Grimsby vs Boreham Wood – 10/05/22

Competition: National League

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 8/11 @ 888sport

In a National League showdown that could see chances at both ends of the pitch, Grimsby will welcome Boreham Wood to Blundell Park on Tuesday night.

Starting with the hosts, putting in what was a hugely disappointing display over the weekend, Grimsby will be hoping to prove that their 3-1 loss against Maidenhead was just a minor blip. Nevertheless, despite picking up just a single point from their back-to-back National League contests, the Mariners still find themselves sat firmly in pole position to book a play-off spot. Losing just one of their last eight fifth-tier matchups, Head Coach Paul Hurst has also seen his side take nine points from their previous four fixtures at Blundell Park. However, while Grimsby could officially confirm their top-seven spot on Tuesday night, it should be noted that they have gained a reputation for their lively outcomes. Including a 2-2 draw against Barnet on April 30th, the midweek hosts have seen four of their last five showdowns finish with both teams finding the net.

As for the visitors, while Boreham Wood might have been last seen over the weekend playing out a lively 2-2 draw away at Yeovil, Luke Garrard’s side knows that they need a miracle if they’re to pinch a play-off spot. Sat six points adrift of the top-seven when they travel to Blundell Park, the Hertfordshire-based outfit have managed to win just a pair of their last 16 straight matchups across all formats. Really failing to build off of their eye-catching start to 2022, the midweek guests will face a stern test on their travels here. With their inconsistent spell highlighted by a stunning 2-1 loss at the hands of Dover last month, don’t be surprised to see chances come thick and fast on Tuesday night. With each of Boreham Wood’s last three National League matchups finishing with both teams finding the net, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
