What to expect
We expect about 1.9 goals from Grimsby and 0.8 from Bristol Rovers, so Grimsby come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 2.7 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.
Grimsby come into this on four straight draws. Bristol Rovers come into this on three straight wins. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.
Our pick: Grimsby to win. Grimsby are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 1.9-0.8), and we make them about 55% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.
We put the chance of that landing at about 54 out of 100. The price on offer is 2.30, which works out at about 43 out of 100. That gap is the whole reason this is on the site: we rate it more likely than the price does, and the price looks good to us because of it.
