History of the Wycombe Wanderers v Grimsby Town fixture

Wycombe Wdrs. prepare to entertain Grimsby Town at Causeway Stadium on Monday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. 2 of the 3 contests have been draws however, with the other 1 won by Chairboys.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Causeway Stadium was less than a year ago, in January 2004, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4-1 thriller, in a League Division Two match.

Recent respective form guides

Wycombe Wanderers's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Chairboys have scored 4, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Wycombe Wdrs. are just outside the promotion places, in 5th, having taken 10 points from 5 games. Grimsby Town lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola League Two, picking up 7 from their 5 games so far.
