Prediction: 3-1
Scunthorpe
Bristol Rovers and Scunthorpe United go head to head at Memorial Stadium in the last round of the season. The Pirates are eager to secure automatic League One promotion, and seeing that they are sitting just below top three, this has to go down as a must-win game for the home side. Paul Coutts is banned for the match, while Luke Thomas is pushing for a start.
The Iron, on the other hand, failed to secure the League Two survival, with the team collecting only 26 points in total to date. The rock-bottom side have nothing to play for in Saturday’s clash, and they are unlikely to spoil Bristol Rovers’ party at Memorial Stadium. David faces Goliath on the last day of the season, meaning that anything but a routine home win would be a major surprise. All Feeney, Bunn, and Hallam could sneak into Scunthorpe’s starting XI.

Highlighted Player (Glenn Whelan):
Probably one of the most underrated footballers in Premier League history, Glenn Whelan was born on 13 January 1982 in Dublin and he went on to enjoy a very successful career on club and international level.
Following spells with Manchester City, Bury and Sheffield Wednesday, the defensive midfielder found his peace at the Britannia Stadium, making over 250 Premier League appearances for Stoke City and keeping his place in the side under both Tony Pulis and Mark Hughes. Predominantly focused on doing the dirty defensive work and helping out the back four, Whelan never quite made the headlines for his style of play or quality of his displays, but remained an important player for both club and country.
The midfielder has so far made over 70 appearances for the Republic of Ireland national team, wearing the captain’s armband on several occasions, and starting all three group games at the Euro 2012 finals, while helping The Green Army qualify for the Euro 2016 as well.
Highlighted Team (Scunthorpe):
Founded back in 1899, Scunthorpe United are a professional football club that compete in League Two. The Iron wear sky blue and claret jerseys and claret shorts when playing on home soil, while green is the dominant colour of their away kit.
Scunthorpe United welcome their rivals at the Sands Venue Stadium, which can hold up to 9,088 people. The Iron recorded their biggest triumph (8-1) against Luton Town on April 24, 1965, with the team repeating the success 30 years later when they hammered Torquey United 8-1 in the New Division 3. As for the club’s biggest loss, the Iron were crushed by Carlisle United 8-0 on November 25, 1952.
Grimsby Town are seen as the club’s fiercest rivals, but they maintain rivalries with local clubs Hull City, Doncaster Rovers, and Lincoln City as well. Jack Brownsword (1947-65) holds the record for most appearances in Scunthorpe United shirt (783).
