🔮 Prediction

We’re of the view that Halifax will probably get a lot of shots on goal and make them count.

At the other end, Scunthorpe United are also probably going to find it difficult to score a goal of their own but we do think that it’s more than likely that they will be pulling one back during this clash, too.

We’re therefore anticipating a 3-1 margin for Halifax after 90 minutes.
