Grimsby vs Crawley Match Summary
Competition | English League Two |
|---|---|
Match Date | Saturday 19 September 2026 |
Match Time | 15:00 UK time |
Venue (City, Stadium) | Blundell Park |
Sixth take on 23rd at Blundell Park as an in-form Grimsby host a struggling Crawley in English League Two, with the hosts firm favourites on Saturday afternoon.
Grimsby sit sixth on 10 points from their opening six fixtures, unbeaten in the table and coming off a tidy 2-0 home win over Bristol Rovers. Confidence is high on the East Coast.
Crawley, by contrast, prop up the bottom of the table in 23rd on four points. The Red Devils have taken just one point from the last 12 available and arrive rattled.
These sides have plenty of history, and Grimsby vs Crawley promises goals, with Grimsby scoring 2+ in seven of their last nine meetings against Crawley in League Two.
Grimsby vs Crawley Form
Grimsby are flying. The Mariners are undefeated in their last seven League Two matches and have scored at least twice in each of their last four league games. First-half strikes from Kieran Green and Géza Dávid Turi saw off Bristol Rovers 2-0 last time out. Green is the man in form, having scored or assisted in each of his last four League Two appearances.
Crawley are in the mire. The Red Devils have failed to win 10 of their last 11 League Two matches and have picked up just one point from the last 12 on offer. They led inside seven minutes against Cheltenham last time out through Dylan Morgan, only to collapse to a 3-1 home defeat. Confidence in front of goal is a real concern.

Grimsby vs Crawley Prediction & Best Bets

Best Bets
Grimsby to win with a -1 handicap against Crawley in the Handicaps market. The gulf between sixth and 23rd is stark here. Grimsby have won each of the last two head-to-head meetings by a multi-goal margin, and with Crawley failing to win 10 of their last 11, the hosts should have enough to cover the start.
Over 2.5 goals to be scored in the Total Goals Over/Under market. Goals have been a feature of this fixture at Blundell Park, with each of Grimsby's last four home meetings with Crawley producing over 2.5. Throw in a Grimsby side scoring twice or more in each of their last four league games and this looks a solid angle.
Grimsby vs Crawley Bet Builder
A four-leg bet builder built around a lively Grimsby side: Over 1.5 Total Home Goals, Kieran Green anytime goalscorer, the draw in the Win Market and Grimsby-Draw in the Double Chance market.
The first leg leans on the hosts' firepower, with Grimsby having scored 2+ goals in four of their last four League Two fixtures. Getting to two at home should not trouble them.
Kieran Green is the obvious goal threat. The midfielder has found the net in two of his last three appearances and looks primed to add to that tally against a leaky Crawley back line.
The draw adds value to the ticket as a longer leg, tempering the assumption of a comfortable home win while keeping the goals theme running through the fixture.
Grimsby-Draw in the Double Chance market underpins the slip, covering the hosts to avoid defeat, a sound anchor given they are unbeaten in seven League Two outings.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 50/1 and is as short as 35/1 elsewhere.

Grimsby vs Crawley Talking Points
This one carries a bit of occasion for the hosts, with the fixture coinciding with Grimsby's official 145th anniversary celebrations. On the pitch, the contrast could not be sharper. The Mariners are settled, dangerous and hard to beat, while Crawley are searching for answers. Following the 3-1 home loss to Cheltenham, head coach Colin Kazim-Richards demanded more urgency and more bodies on the line, insisting his players show as much desire to defend as they do to attack. Get that response and Crawley have a fighting chance. Fail to, and a confident Grimsby side with the crowd behind them look well placed to make it count.
