Prediction Grimsby Town vs Chesterfield 2025/2026 – Betting Tips for the League Two on 15/11/2025

Match preview: Blundell Park set for a feisty League Two clash

Grimsby Town welcome Chesterfield to Blundell Park on 15 November in a fixture that promises intensity and goals. The Mariners arrive sitting sixth in the table with an eye-catching home record: 15 goals scored and just six conceded on their own turf, evidence of a side comfortable attacking at Blundell Park while remaining difficult to break down. Chesterfield are close behind in the standings and arrive with a streak of draws and tight contests, a team that grinds out results and has shown it can both score and concede in equal measure on recent form.

Tactical outlook and recent form

Grimsby’s recent calendar has been a rollercoaster — high-scoring wins (5-3 and 3-1) contrast sharply with a heavy 0-5 defeat and a 3-2 reverse at Crewe. That inconsistency masks a team that creates chances: 225 total shots this season and a strong shots-inside-box figure. Chesterfield, meanwhile, have been stubborn away from home and adept at sharing spoils; their last five league outings include several draws and a narrow win at Stevenage. In the cup, they pushed Liverpool U21s to penalties after a 2-2 draw, showing resilience and an ability to contend in tight, end-to-end encounters. The H2H earlier in the season also finished 1-1, suggesting a familiarity between the sides that often leads to competitive, open matches.

Statistical edge

Numbers favor Grimsby marginally. The bookies price a home victory at 2.08, reflecting a perceived edge at Blundell Park where Grimsby have conceded only six times. Chesterfield’s away goal numbers are modest — 10 scored away and 15 conceded — which hints at vulnerability when asked to control matches on the road. Both teams have been involved in several high-scoring affairs recently: Grimsby’s fixtures have seen Over 2.5 goals in 60% of matches, while Chesterfield’s fixtures have been over 2.5 in roughly 53% of games. Those trends point to an entertaining contest with chances at both ends, even if Grimsby should nudge the balance.
