Scunthorpe
Saturday’s football game at Boundary Park pits together Oldham Athletic and Scunthorpe United. The Latics did well to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Salford, with the team beating Cheltenham Town at home ground, and, to make things even better for the fans, they eliminated Hampton & Richmond in the FA Cup at the weekend. Pacey winger Blackwood was rested in the FA Cup clash, as well as several other first-team regulars, but Harry Kewell is going to field the best possible side against Scunthorpe.
The Iron, on the other hand, are on a seven-game losing run in all competitions, and it is no wonder Oldham are seen as favourites to win Saturday’s match. Taking everything into account, the Latics should take advantage of Scunthorpe’s current form. In their last meeting in the League Two the Iron defeated the Latics, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
Highlighted Player (Conor McAleny):
Conor McAleny is a product of Everton youth academy, joining the club from Merseyside in 2003 at the age of 11. Despite the fact that his main position is centre-forward, McAleny is used as both second striker and left winger as well. McAleny did spend his youth career at Goodison Park, but it has to be noted that he made no more than two appearances for the Toffees at senior level.
The English attacker, who was born in Whiston on August 12, 1992, made his first-team debut in a 1-0 Premier League loss to Arsenal on December, 2011. Conor McAleny played for the likes of Scunthorpe United, Brentford, Cardiff City, Charlton Athletic, Wigan Athletic and Oxford United before signing a deal with Fleetwood Town.
The right-footed striker spent the second half of the 2018/2019 season on loan at Kilmarnock, scoring 3 goals in 11 appearances for the club in the Scottish Premier League.
Highlighted Team (Scunthorpe):
