Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Scunthorpe and Hartlepool, the two teams who were beaten by Bradford City and Swindon respectively on Matchday 44, face each other at Sands Venue Stadium in what is expected to be a lively contest. The Iron failed to secure the League Two survival, and, no doubt, they are low on spirits ahead of the visit of Hartlepool. The rock-bottom side have already conceded 82 goals in the process, which is yet another reason why a high-scoring affair is on the horizon.
Both O’Malley and Bunn could sneak into the starting XI this time out. The Pools, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their three-game losing run. Graeme Lee’s men are eager to get back on course in the English fourth tier, and seeing that they will adopt an attack-minded approach against Scunthorpe, over 2.5 goals betting option should be considered.
Highlighted Player (Harry Bunn):
Harry Bunn is a Manchester City product who played for the likes of Rochdale, Preston, Oldham Athletic, Crewe Alexandra, Sheffield United and Huddersfield Town on loan before signing a permanent deal with the Terriers in January, 2014.
