Posted Friday, February 13, 2026 by 7M Sport
[(Grimsby Town F.C.) Strength]:
1. Grimsby Town F.C. currently sit in 8th place in EFL League Two. For lower-league teams, the FA Cup is a rare opportunity to face top-tier teams and create upsets. In this match, playing at home against the bottom team of the Premier League, Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C., the entire team are highly motivated, hoping to leverage their home advantage and recent unbeaten streak to pull off a surprise and advance.
2. Grimsby Town F.C. achieved an impressive record in their last six EFL League Two matches, with 4 wins, 2 draws, and 0 losses, giving them a win rate of 66.7% and 14 points.
3. Grimsby Town F.C. have shown steady and reliable performances at home this season. In their 15 home matches so far, they have recorded 7 wins, 3 draws, and 5 losses, with a home win rate of 46.7%.
4. Grimsby Town F.C. won all three of their recent FA Cup matches in regular time, scoring 10 goals in these three cup games, demonstrating excellent offensive performance.
5. Grimsby Town F.C.'s recent trends in AH have been stable, winning 6 out of their last 10 matches and remaining unbeaten in their last three home matches.
[(Grimsby Town F.C.) Weakness]:
1. Grimsby Town F.C.'s last match against the Premier League team was in October of last year, when they lost 5-0 at home to Brentford F.C. in the EFL Cup, highlighting the significant gap in overall strength compared to Premier League teams.
[(Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C.) Strength]:
1. Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. have had a disastrous season in the Premier League, sitting at the bottom of the table with their relegation situation looking nearly hopeless. The FA Cup has thus become the only remaining avenue for the team to pursue honors and salvage some pride this season. This away match against the opponents two tiers below is an excellent opportunity for the team to end their winless streak and regain confidence. Their motivation is to secure a big win to advance.
2. Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. have performed well in domestic cup competitions this season. In the FA Cup, they thrashed Shrewsbury Town F.C. 6-1 at home, and earlier in the EFL Cup, they defeated two Premier League teams, West Ham United F.C. and Everton F.C., only to narrowly lose 4-3 to Chelsea F.C. in the third round.
3. Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C.'s recent performance in AH has been stable, winning 7 out of their last 10 matches and 5 out of their last 6 away matches.
[(Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C.) Weakness]:
1. Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. have recorded 0 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses in their last six Premier League matches, with a win rate of 0% and only 3 points, indicating extremely poor form.
2. Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. have the worst away record in the Premier League this season. In their 13 away matches so far, they have managed only 0 wins, 4 draws, and 9 losses, with an away win rate of 0%.
3. Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C.'s recent offensive form has been poor. In their last five Premier League matches, they have scored only 1 goal, indicating very weak attacking capabilities.
[Tips]:
Although Grimsby Town F.C. are in the fourth tier of English football, they are in excellent recent form, with a defense that can be considered top-tier at the EFL League Two level, and they possess a certain resilience at home.
However, even though Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. are at the bottom of the Premier League, their overall squad value, player abilities, match tempo, and intensity of play are still far beyond what a League Two team can match.
Wolves' chances of avoiding relegation in the league are virtually nonexistent, making the FA Cup their last chance to salvage some pride and avoid a season of complete failure, or even setting a new record of shame.
This desperate situation, combined with the opportunity for a 'dimensional reduction' against the inferior-league opponents, is enough to ignite their strongest desire to win this season.
Taking into account the huge gap in league levels, the chasm in player abilities, Wolves' all-or-nothing mentality, and Grimsby's solid but League Two-level defense, Wolves are not only expected to win this match but also have a high probability of securing a victory by two or more goals away from home.
