Prediction: 2-1
Scunthorpe
St. James Park will host Saturday’s football match between Exeter City and Scunthorpe United, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table ahead of Matchday 9. Exeter are only one point behind the League Two playoffs berth, meaning that a win over Scunthorpe United should see them climb to top seven in the standings. The Grecians aim to build on a midweek win over Crawley Town, and you should know that they are eyeing their third consecutive win at home ground.
The Iron, on the other hand, sit in the bottom half of the table, with the team suffering a loss in each of their last four league fixtures. Scunthorpe have been struggling at the back of late, and given Exeter’s display in the triumph over Crawley, we believe that punters can find value in betting on the hosts. Myles Hippolyte returns from suspension for the visitors.
Highlighted Player (Jake Taylor):
Jake Taylor is a product of the Reading football academy who plays for Exeter City in the League Two. Taylor spent his youth career at Reading, and he continued wearing the blue and white shirt at senior level.

He has ten caps with the Wales U21 team, and he made his debut with the Dragons at the senior level in a 2-1 win over Cyprus on October 13, 2014. His primary position is central midfielder.
