Walsall and Grimsby both banked three points on the opening weekend, though the margins differed. Walsall won 3-0 away from home with a clean sheet, while Grimsby settled their first assignment 1-0 in front of their own supporters. The Bescot Stadium stages Walsall's first home outing of the campaign and Grimsby's first journey of the season, so neither club has a home or away record to lean on yet. League Two as a whole is running at 2.42 goals per game after one round. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one. The data and assessments here are provided for information and statistical purposes.
