Here, a handful of our writers make their predictions for the game…
Harry Mail
“Harrogate Town still have a chance to get into the play-offs this season but would probably need to win all of their remaining games.
“The Sulphurites have won their last two home games 3-0 against Bradford City and 5-1 against Gillingham so will fancy their chances of beating Grimsby Town here to make it three on the spin on their own patch.
“However, they have been very inconsistent this season and you never really know what result you’re going to get from them.
“The Mariners will be desperate to get a result here and pull further away from the drop zone. They needed their win over Newport County and that has eased some pressure off them. I think David Artell’s men will get a draw.”
Harrogate Town vs Grimsby Town prediction: 1-1
James Ray
“Harrogate Town look set to see out their season in mid-table, which will go down as a good achievement for Weaver and co. Regardless, they’ll be hoping to end the season in strong fashion.
“For Grimsby Town though, they just need results. They have to keep getting points on the board if they’re to keep distance between themselves and the drop.
“That win over Newport could be huge for their confidence but I think both sides will be left frustrated here. I’m going to say this ends level.”
Harrogate Town vs Grimsby Town prediction: 1-1
