AFC Wimbledon vs Grimsby Town Match Analysis & Prediction
05/03/2024 10:45 pm
AFC Wimbledon will play host to relegation-threatened Grimsby Town at the Cherry Red Records Stadium on Tuesday night for a League Two match.
Following five straight matches in League Two without a win, Wimbledon were able to return to winning ways on Saturday at Plough Lane, claiming a narrow 1-0 victory over Milton Keynes Dons.
After halting a two-game losing run at the weekend, the Dons have moved up to 10th position in the league standings, just four points behind seventh-placed Gillingham, who currently occupy the lowest of the playoff spots.
All five of Wimbledon’s victories across all competitions since Christmas Day have come at Plough Lane, with their most recent away win coming on December 22 against Crawley at Broadfield Stadium.
Grimsby gave their chances of avoiding relegation a massive boost at the weekend, beating relegation-threatened Forest Green Rovers 1-0 at Blundell Park.
An 11th-placed finish on their return to League Two in 2022-23 suggested that Grimsby could kick on and push for the playoffs this time around, but the Mariners are embroiled in a battle to maintain their fourth-tier status, with David Artell’s side six points ahead of 23rd-placed Forest Green.

AFC Wimbledon Team News
Wimbledon remain light of options in their backline due to the absences of defensive duo Ryan Johnson and Joe Lewis.
Josh Neufville and Jack Currie started as wing-backs for Saturday’s victory over MK Dons, and the same formation should be expected on Tuesday.

Grimsby Town Team News
After keeping a rare clean sheet last time out at home, Grimsby are expected to keep the same back three of Toby Mullarkey, Douglas Tharme and goalscorer Harvey Rodgers.
Leading marksman Danny Rose and Donovan Wilson were not directly involved in the decisive goal on Saturday but played a crucial part in the game, meaning that the pair should be able to keep Rekeil Pyke on the bench.
