Hyde vs Grimsby tips and predictions

Club Friendly match offers decent odds against home glory

The away team is several levels above this Hyde side.

This might not resonate with fans of the visiting side, but they are just too short too back.

Hyde will have taken notes from Grimsby's defeats in their recent results. The visitors come into the match with 13 losses from their last 19 away matches. To put your faith in this team you might have wanted a better set of results than this.

If Hyde can control the fate of the match, it will be due to the confidence they gained from their recent performances. The hosts have been making the most of a recent purple patch on their own soil. They have scored two or more goals in 5 of their recent 7 home matches and that quality has been shown all over the field. At the back they've conceded no more than once in all of their last 5 games.

Grimsby have conceded three or more goals in 3 of their last 5 matches. If there are issues, maybe they are also materialising the other end of the pitch. Averaging just 0.8 goals in their last 20 matches, Grimsby have would have wanted more.

The sportsbooks' prices indicate that both sides can get in on the act despite the favouritism for Grimsby. Whatever happens, with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that makes more sense. Obviously all of this depends on how the hosts adapt to a quality of football they aren't used to.
