History of the Grimsby Town v Barnet fixture

Barnet face a trip to Grimsby Town at Blundell Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to break their duck against the hosts. On each previous occasion, the match has ended in defeat for the Bees.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2008, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4 - 1 thriller, in a League Two match.

Recent respective form guides

Grimsby Town's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Mighty Mariners have scored 4, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

The away form of Barnet is pretty dire, losing every single one of the last six matches played! While the Bees have hit 4 goals, 19 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Grimsby Town are currently lying in 20th place in Coca-Cola League Two having mustered a points tally of 3 from their 7 matches played. Barnet are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 1 points from 7 matches.
