Prediction: 2-0
Scunthorpe
Tranmere will look to extend their winning run to six games when they host Scunthorpe to their Prenton Park on Matchday 26. The Super Whites are eager to continue where they left in December 2021, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Iron. Tranmere are on a three-game winning run at home ground, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Scunthorpe.
The Iron, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Carlisle United. Scunthorpe are eager to escape the relegation zone, but given Tranmere’s brilliant form, we predict that the Super Whites are going to pick up all three points from Saturday’s match. In the first half of the season Scunthorpe defeated Tranmere 1-0 thanks to Myles Hippolyte’s goal from the penalty spot, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
