Match Preview | v Stevenage

Tomorrow the Mariners welcome high-flying Stevenage to Blundell Park in League Two, kick off 3pm.

Paul Hurst’s side will be looking for a reaction to last weekend’s disappointing defeat to Doncaster Rovers and register our first victory in League Two since the 3-1 win at Stockport County last month. While in-form Stevenage have lost only once in their last thirteen games and come to Cleethorpes second in League Two.

Ahead of the clash, we have created this match preview to bring you all the key information you need to know.
