Prediction: 1-1
Scunthorpe
The People’s Pension Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Crawley Town and Scunthorpe United. The Red Devils aim to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Port Vale, and they are likely to leave their hearts on the field in their first home match of the season. Ashley Nadesan is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts against Scunthorpe. The Iron, on the other hand, came from behind to share the spoils with Newport in the season opener.
Scunthorpe United were anything but impressive on the road in the 2019/20 League Two campaign, but seeing that Saturday’s clash will be played behind closed doors, we believe that punters can find value in betting on draw. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be summer signing Dunnwald-Turan, who is likely to make his League Two debut against Crawley Town.
