Match Analysis
This is a clash between two in-form sides with strong attacking records and leaky defences. Both Halifax and Scunthorpe have been prolific in front of goal recently, averaging over 2 goals scored per game in their last 5, and both have a high season over 2.5 goal percentage. Neither side keeps many clean sheets, and both have failed to score in 0 of their last 5. The league table shows Scunthorpe slightly ahead, but Halifax's home form is robust. The most likely scenario is an open, high-scoring contest with both teams finding the net and a draw a strong possibility.
