On Tuesday night, Altrincham host Grimsby Town at Moss Lane in a battle of sixth versus first in the National League standings.
The hosts come into this match in good form, having won four out of five National League fixtures, having defeated relegation candidates DoverAthletic 3-2, King’s Lynn Town 4-1 and also earned impressive victories against Notts County and Dagenham & Redbridge via 1-0 and 3-2 scorelines, with Josh Hancock and Dan Mooney scoring in the 87th and 90th minute in the latter to seal a last gasp victory.
Grimsby are 20 points from nine matches, having won six, drawn two and lost just once, scoring 21 and conceding nine and come into this game having won three of their last five games, beating the likes of Wrexham 3-1, Eastleigh 2-0, before drawing 1-1 away at Maidenhead United and losing 3-1 to an in-form Bromley side, but, last time out they hammered Dover Athletic 6-0 at Blundell Park to put themselves back on track as Luke Waterfall and Ryan Taylor braces, as well as goals from John McAtee and Will Bapaga put the Mariners on their way to three points on Saturday to put them top of the league standings.
