Prediction: 1-1
Scunthorpe
Globe Arena will host Saturday’s football game between Morecambe and Scunthorpe, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table ahead of Matchday 29. Morecambe are on a three-game winless run in the League Two, but it has to be noted that they failed to turn their dominance into victory in a 1-1 draw with Bolton. The Shrimps are eager to keep their automatic promotion hopes alive, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at Scunthorpe United.
The Iron’s midweek game against Bradford City was abandoned due to snow, meaning that tired legs are unlikely to prove to be a big problem for the visitors. Since Scunthorpe are on a three-game winning run in the league, share of spoils is on the cards at Globe Arena. In the first half of the season the two teams played out a 1-1 draw at Sands Venue Stadium.
