Prediction: 2-1
Scunthorpe
Buoyed by a 2-1 win over Sutton, Oldham Athletic will be aiming to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they take on Barrow at their Boundary Park. The Latics did well to record their first win of the season at the weekend, and, no doubt, the triumph gave them a confidence boost. Oldham Athletic aim to escape the danger zone, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Barrow. Defender Sam Hart, who limped off with injury in the triumph over Sutton, is unlikely to feature in Saturday’s clash.
Barrow, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their three-game winless run, but seeing that important defender Mark Ellis misses the match through suspension, we believe that punters can find value in betting on the Latics. In their last encounter in the League Two Barrow emerged triumphant, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
Highlighted Player (Conor McAleny):
