Exeter City begin their quest for a return to League One when they travel to face Grimsby Town in their 2026-27 League Two opener on Saturday. However, the Grecians are winless in eight of their last nine matches and are set for a tough encounter against the Mariners. Hence, our prediction backs the hosts to secure victory.
Grimsby Town will target another strong run in the English fourth tier this season after their journey ended in the playoff semifinals last season. They ended pre-season unbeaten in all seven matches (W4, D3).
Notably, the Mariners came off second best in their first competitive fixture of the season, losing 3–1 to League One side Blackpool in the Carabao Cup on Saturday. However, they enter this clash as favorites, having won four of their last six matches across pre-season and competitive action. The North East Lincolnshire club also ended last season racking up four wins in their final six home League Two fixtures.
Exeter City's poor run of form from last season continued into pre-season and the Carabao Cup. The Grecians failed to win three of their four friends and suffered a 2–0 defeat to Plymouth in the Carabao Cup on Saturday, exiting the competition in the first round.
Matt Taylor's men went winless in their final four League One matches last season as they dropped to the fourth tier. They haven't won any of their last 10 competitive away matches, dating back to last season (D5, L5).
