ℹ️ Team News: Scunthorpe United

In an otherwise healthy squad, there’s only a single fitness problem for the Scunthorpe United boss Andy Butler to be concerned with. Jonathan Gjoshe (surgery) won’t be in action.

✨ Prediction

We believe that Scunthorpe United will likely create enough chances to breach the defence of this Carlisle United side, but it may not quite be enough to avoid a loss.

We are anticipating both teams to score in a 2-1 advantage for Carlisle United after 90 minutes. It’s a very tough call.
