Prediction: 0-2
Leyton Orient
Scunthorpe will look to make amends for a 3-1 loss to Mansfield when they host Leyton Orient to their Sands Venue Stadium on Matchday 18. The Iron are stuck at the bottom with only 12 points in their pocket, and, no doubt, they are desperate to pick up all three points from Saturday’s football game.
All Beestin, Jarvis, and Pugh are pushing for a start as head coach Keith Hill should opt to make changes to the starting XI. Leyton, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling 4-1 win over Sutton. Kenny Jackett’s troops want to move closer to automatic promotion places, and they should take advantage of Scunthorpe’s poor form. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Harry Smith, who impressed in the triumph over Sutton at the weekend.
