Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Sutton welcome Scunthorpe United to Gander Green Lane in the League Two round 34. Sutton do not seem to be at the top of their game, with the team eyeing their first league win since January 29, but this match could be the turning point for the promotion-chasing hosts. All Boldewijk, Davis, and Beautyman are pushing for a start as head coach Matt Gray should opt to make changes to the team that shared the spoils with Hartlepool.
The Iron, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom of the table with only 23 points in their pocket. Since Sutton will not have a better chance than this to get back on course, we predict that the rock-bottom side will return home empty-handed. In the first half of the season the two teams played out a 1-1 draw.
