Background on the Teams
Grimsby Town, a team currently sitting at eighth position in League Two with 48 points from 30 matches, is looking to continue its Cinderella story. The home side enters the tie just two points outside the promotion playoff spots and has already proven itself by defeating Manchester United earlier this season.
On the other hand, Wolves are in a dire situation, currently sitting at the bottom of the Premier League table. They arrived at Blundell Park desperately seeking respite from their likely fate of relegation. Despite their struggles in the top flight, Wolves have shown some fighting spirit by thrashing Shrewsbury Town 6-1 in the third round.
Current Form and Recent Performances
Grimsby Town’s recent form is noteworthy as they managed to defeat sixth-tier Weston-super-Mare 3-2 in the previous round. This win sets them up for another potential giant-killing run, but history suggests that this might not be enough against a strong Wolves side.
Wolves have had their struggles of late, remaining winless in their last five league fixtures and arriving at Blundell Park with a hat-trick scorer, Jørgen Strand Larsen, now on the move to Crystal Palace. However, this does not necessarily bode well for Grimsby Town as Wolves are expected to be more than capable of handling any threat posed by the lower division side.
Prediction and Betting Odds
Despite being one of the worst top-flight teams in recent memory, Wolves should have enough firepower to end Grimsby Town’s run. The betting odds reflect this, with Grimsby Town at +550 and Wolves at -220. Prediction: Grimsby Town 0, Wolves 3.
The match will take place on Sunday, February 15, starting at 8:30 a.m.
ET at Blundell Park in Grimsby, England. Fans can catch the action live on ESPN+.
