Oxford United vs Grimsby Prediction & Betting Tips | 02/12/2023 | Football

Posted on by Matthew Reynolds

Our forecast for this FA Cup game:

Oxford United

Oxford United

Grimsby

Grimsby

The game between Oxford United and Grimsby Town at Kassam Stadium this Saturday will determine who advances to the FA Cup round 3. Oxford United has experienced both successes and failures in League One recently, winning against Leyton Orient, losing to Cheltenham, and tying with Bolton. It is likely that skilled midfielder Tyler Goodrham will start the game, while Kyle Edwards will be a substitute.

The Mariners, however, have tied their last three League Two matches. In the last time they faced each other in the FA Cup, which was in 2014, Oxford United beat Grimsby Town 3-1. Considering that David Artell’s team is not known for performing well on the road, a win for the home team should be taken into account. It is unlikely that defender Anthony Driscoll-Glennon will play for the visiting team after leaving the field due to injury in a 1-1 draw against MK Dons.

The game will take place on 02/12/2023 at 4:00 PM.

Prediction:
2-0

Notable Player (Elliott Moore):

Elliott Moore

Elliott Moore, a football player from Coalville, England, was born on March 16, 1997. He currently plays as a centre-back for Oxford United. Moore has represented the England U18 team once and the England U20 team twice.

The defender, standing at 196 cm, was developed through Leicester City’s football academy and joined the club at the age of 6. However, he did not have the opportunity to play for the first team at Leicester. On July 19, 2017, he made his debut for the senior team against WBA at the Asia Trophy. After spending a few seasons on loan at OH Leuven, Elliott Moore came back to England in the summer of 2019 and signed a contract with League One team Oxford United.

On August 3, 2019, Moore had his first appearance in League One against Sunderland. The teams tied 1-1 at the Stadium of Light in the first game of the season, and Moore entered as a substitute in the final moments of the match.

Highlighted Team (Grimsby):

Grimsby

Grimsby Town, originally known as Grimsby Pelham, was established in 1878. They are a professional football team that currently plays in League Two, which is the fourth division of English football. Their home ground is Blundell Park, which can hold up to 9,027 seated spectators.

The Pilgrims are well known for their black jerseys with white stripes, whilst blue is the dominant colour of their away kit. Grimsby Town made it to the FA Trophy final on two occasions (2012/13, 2015/16), but they have yet to win the title in the competition. The likes of Hull City and Scunthorpe United are regarded as the club’s main rivals.

On September 4, 1925, the Pilgrims achieved their largest victory with a score of 8-0 against Tranmere Rovers. On the other hand, Grimsby Town suffered their worst defeat on January 28, 1931, when they were defeated 9-1 by Arsenal. Pat Glover holds the top spot in the club’s history for scoring the most goals in the league with a total of 180.
