Tranmere Rovers host Grimsby Town at Prenton Park on Saturday with Pete Wild's home team needing a win to ensure their future in League Two. David Artell's Mariners are assured of a playoff spot and cannot force themselves into the promotion spots, so have no pressure on them here. This is a huge match for Rovers in front of their fans so who will our prediction back to win the match?
Currently, the League Two table sees Tranmere sitting in 20th spot on 40 points, level with Newport on points but ahead on goal difference (-25 compared to -30) and one point ahead of Crawley and Harrogate Town. If Rovers fail to win, they will need results to go their way elsewhere to preserve their status in League Two. Grimsby lie sixth on 77 points, assured of the playoffs.
Tranmere's form since the New Year has been dismal, especially at home, which will be a huge concern for the Prenton Park faithful. Rovers drew 1-1 away at Chesterfield before a 2-1 home defeat against Bristol Rovers. They then recorded a huge 3-1 win at Cheltenham, but last weekend were well-beaten away 3-0 by MK Dons.
Grimsby's recent form is excellent, despite a 2-1 defeat away to Chesterfield to start off their most recent run of four games. They then thrashed Gillingham 4-1 away and beat Cambridge 2-1 on the road before a sensational 4-0 win over Swindon last weekend that confirmed their playoff berth.

Our Tranmere Rovers vs Grimsby Town Prediction
Our prediction for the Tranmere Rovers vs. Grimsby Town League Two match is: Grimsby wins.
Prenton Park has witnessed a fair few dramatic moments in the past decade or two, but Rovers fans could be in for a nervy afternoon against the in-form Grimsby. The Mariners have the pressure off and have already assured themselves of a playoff spot, but they won't take it easy here and with Tranmere's home form so poor, even in an extremely poor run of league form, this means the sensible bet is to back Grimsby for the win here.
