Grimsby Town will welcome Brentford to Blundell Park in the Carabao Cup fourth round on Tuesday. The hosts are the only fourth-tier side left in the competition. Notably, no team from League Two made it past the third round last season.
The hosts have seen a drop in form, losing three of their last four games in all competitions. They met Crewe Alexandra in the Football League Two last week and fell to a 3-2 away loss. Jamie Walker bagged a brace, but they conceded in the 87th minute as Emre Tezgel completed his hat-trick.
The visitors have seen conclusive results in their last six games in all competitions, recording four wins. They made it two wins in a row on Saturday, recording a 3-2 home triumph over Liverpool in the Premier League. Dango Ouattara and Kevin Schade scored in the first half, while Igor Thiago scored the third from the penalty spot in the 60th minute.

Grimsby Town vs Brentford Prediction
The Mariners have conceded three goals apiece in two of their last four games in all competitions and will look to improve upon that record. They are winless in their last three games in this fixture, failing to score in two, which is a cause for concern.
The Bees have won their two games after the international break while scoring five goals, and will look to continue that form here. They have failed to score in just one of their 11 games in all competitions this season.
Keith Andrews is likely to make a few changes to the starting XI from their win over Liverpool last week. Joshua Dasilva is sidelined with an injury, while Aaron Hickey faces a late fitness test.
The visitors have enjoyed a good run of form, and considering their advantage in terms of squad quality, we back them to register a comfortable win.
Prediction: Grimsby Town 1-3 Brentford
