Sunderland vs Grimsby Prediction

For this EFL Trophy fixture we go with Over 2.5 goals for Sunderland vs Grimsby, at 79% confidence. In their last 5 matches, Sunderland's games produced 2.6 goals on average, 2 of them over 2.5. Grimsby's games averaged 2.2, with 2 of 5 over the line. Form on its own doesn't settle this one: 4 of the 10 recent games went over 2.5, which is worth keeping in mind before backing Over 2.5.

The two sides haven't met recently, so head-to-head history plays no part in this call. At 79%, most of the recent evidence lands on this side of the line, which makes it one of our stronger calls. Final score: 3-2. The pick won.
