Prediction: 1-0
Scunthorpe
Hartlepool and Scunthorpe take on each other at Victoria Park in what is expected to be an entertaining League Two encounter. The Pools are eyeing their fourth consecutive win in all competitions, and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s clash. Mark Cullen, who scored his fourth goal of the season in the midweek triumph, will be one of the men to watch in the home team.
The Iron, on the other hand, have drawn each of their previous three league fixtures. Scunthorpe are on a six-game winless run in the League Two, and given Hartlepool’s fine form, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing something from the match. In their last meeting in the League Two the two teams played out a goalless draw, but we are tempted to put our money on the playoffs-chasing hosts this time out.
