Three points on the line and a story to write. Grimsby host Blackpool.
Grimsby take on Blackpool in the EFL Cup. Let's break down what our data says about this one.
The lead strikers on both sides carry the narrative here. Grimsby will lean on whoever's hot in front of goal, while Blackpool travel with the same brief: find a way past a back four that's been organised more often than not this season.
This doesn't look like a high-scoring one. Grimsby average 2.1 goals per game and Blackpool manage 1.2. Combined that's just 3.3. We make it only 1% for three or more, so the lean is towards a lower-scoring game.
Grimsby are all-out attack: 2.1 goals a game, but they leak 1.4 at the other end. They'll throw plenty at Blackpool, but there are gaps at the back for the visitors to get at. Blackpool prefer to keep things tight (0.3 conceded per game) and nick a goal on the break. Patience will be key for Grimsby against this setup.
