Scunthorpe vs Oldham Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Scunthorpe have been setting the pace in league one for some time now and it’s hard to knock them really. They’ve looked good going forward and have scored with regularity while, at the same time, they’ve been among the best in the division defensively. However, when these two met last month it was Oldham who came out with a 2-0 win so this match might not be as straight forward as the league table suggests.

At odds of 5/6, ‘Scunthorpe to Score Over 1.5 Goals’ is the bet to be on. The hosts are fancied to make amends for their defeat at Oldham last month and can get revenge in this tie.

The home team have been very strong at home, scoring plenty of goals. Having scored 11 goals in their last five matches in front of their own fans, Scunthorpe have scored two or more goals in four of those.

Oldham, considering their lowly position, have conceded less than one might think but they have let in the majority of their goals on the road, conceding two or more on three occasions. Against Scunthorpe, a team who really can overpower sides at home, the visitors could easily concede at least two goals for a fourth time when playing away from home.

The fact that Scunthorpe have scored two or more in three of their last five overall, combined with Oldham conceding two or more in three of their last five overall, also bodes well here.

Josh Morris has perhaps been the most exciting player in the division this year. The Scunthorpe man has 14 goals in the league already and certainly enhances the hosts’ chances of scoring.
