Match Facts
Grimsby Town have won each of their last two league matches against Crewe and are looking to make it three wins on the bounce for the first time since 1953 (also a run of three).
After losing just one of their 11 league trips to Grimsby Town between October 1971 and 2016 (W5 D5), Crewe have since lost on three of their last four visits (W1), failing to score in all three defeats.
Grimsby are unbeaten in their last four league matches, although they have drawn each of their last three (W1). They haven’t drawn four league matches on the trot since March 2021.
Crewe Alexandra have lost just one of their last seven league matches on the road (W3 D3), a 2-4 defeat to Salford in October.
