I'm backing Grimsby Town to win this FA Cup first-round tie 3-2 at Stafford Rangers on 8 November 2026 at 15:00. Stafford earned their place with a 5-0 demolition of Gateshead and they're riding confidence at home, winning four of their last five matches there while averaging 2.80 goals per game. But I see a clear gap in quality here. Grimsby are a League Two side, and they've just hammered Gillingham 4-1 and York City 5-2 in consecutive outings. I expect that attacking momentum to carry through, even though they'll face a fired-up lower-league opponent on their patch.
