Grimsby - Exeter

The new League Two season begins at Blundell Park with Grimsby Town hosting Exeter City, a fixture that has often delivered goals. Their last encounter in April 2021 saw Exeter City emerge victorious with a 3-2 scoreline, continuing a trend of competitive matches between the two sides.

Both teams have had mixed fortunes in their opening cup fixtures. Grimsby Town suffered a 1-3 defeat against Blackpool in the EFL Cup last Saturday, while Exeter City were beaten 2-0 by Plymouth Argyle in their respective tie. This opening league matchday presents an immediate opportunity for both clubs to establish their early season form and make a positive statement.
