Prediction: 2-0
Swindon
After defeating AFC Wimbledon in their last warm-up game, Scunthorpe United will be aiming to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they take on Swindon Town in the opening match of the season. The Iron finished the last League Two season just above the relegation zone, meaning that they are eager to make amends for the unsuccessful campaign.
Since top scorer Abobaker Eisa left the club in the summer transfer window, a man to watch in the home team will be new recruit Harry Bunn, who played for York City last term. The Robins, on the other hand, failed to impress in pre-season friendlies against Weymouth and Peterborough United, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. It has to be noted that over 20 players left Swindon in the summer.
Highlighted Player (Jordan Clarke):
Jordan Clarke is a professional footballer who plays for League Two club Scunthorpe United. Born on November 19, 1991, Clarke is a product of the Coventry City football academy. He continued playing for the Sky Blues at senior level and after scoring 4 goals in 125 appearances for the club, he moved to Scunthorpe United in 2015.
It has to be noted that he had a short loan spell with Yeovil Town as well during the 2014/15 season. Jordan Clarke made his Scunthorpe debut in the League Two in a 2-0 loss to Swindon Town on August 3, 2019. Clarke’s main position is right-back, but he is used as both centre and left back as well.
Since he was a very talented player, Jordan Clarke earned call-ups for both England U19 and U20 teams. Speaking of his personal life, you should know that the Scunthorpe United defender attended Coundon Court School in Coundon, Coventry.

Oxford United are considered the team’s main rivals, but the Robins have rivalries with Bristol City, Bristol Rovers, and Reading as well.
