Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Scunthorpe will be aiming to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Rochdale when they take on Northampton on Matchday 24. The Iron have been struggling at the back of late, and it should come as no surprise the odds for away win have been dropping. All Nuttall, Sinclair, and Beestin are pushing for a start as head coach Keith Hill should opt to make changes to the starting XI. The visitors, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling 3-0 win over Colchester United.
Northampton Town are determined to secure automatic promotion to the League One, and they are surely capable of beating the rock-bottom side in Tuesday’s postponed fixture. Forward Benny Ashley-Seal is pushing for a rare start after scoring as a substitute in the crushing of the U’s. You should know that the Cobblers are eyeing their seventh away win of the process.
Highlighted Player (Harry Bunn):
Harry Bunn is a Manchester City product who played for the likes of Rochdale, Preston, Oldham Athletic, Crewe Alexandra, Sheffield United and Huddersfield Town on loan before signing a permanent deal with the Terriers in January, 2014. Bunn scored 15 goals in 91 appearances for Huddersfield Town before moving to Bury in a three-year contract in the summer of 2017.
The English attacker joined Bury as he was hungry for a first-team football. Harry Bunn, though, quickly changed the club as he joined Southend United on loan in August, 2018. After he impressed in the 2018/2019 season, the club chiefs decided to sign a permanent deal with Bunn. The Southend United forward was born in Oldham on November 21, 1992.
His main position is left winger, but he is capable of producing fine performances as attacking midfielder as well. The right-footed footballer has a contract with Southend United until June 30, 2020.
