Player to watch: Harvey Davies
Let’s face it, Harvey Davies did not have a solid game in the pre-season friendly match against Crystal Palace a few days ago. The 2024/25 FA Cup winners demolished their rivals via a 0-3 score at Broadfield Stadium.
Davies will bounce back
Credit where it’s due – Davies did make five crucial saves for his team, thus helping coach Artell avoid a bitter disappointment. Surely, the Davies’ presence on the pitch this Saturday will give our top Grimsby vs Crawley prediction a solid chance of success.
