【Expert Prediction】 🟢2-1🔵
Based on the available information, I predict a 2-1 victory for the home team, Grimsby Town.
While Manchester United will be the favorites on paper, Grimsby Town's strong start to the season and their home advantage suggest they have a good chance of causing an upset in the League Cup.
Grimsby Town will likely look to play on the counter and utilize their pace and physicality to unsettle Manchester United's possession-based approach. Manchester United may struggle to break down a well-organized Grimsby Town defense, but they have the quality to create scoring opportunities.
An unexpected result or a more comfortable win for either side cannot be entirely ruled out, but a 2-1 victory for Grimsby Town is my prediction for this England League Cup match.
This match has the potential to be a closely contested affair, with both teams eager to progress to the next round of the competition.
