Bitesize Prediction: Scunthorpe vs Morecambe – 07/10/25

Competition: National League

Market: Scunthorpe win

Odds: 4/9 @ Pribet

Two sides who already find themselves scrapping it out at opposite ends of the National League table, Scunthorpe will welcome Morecambe to Glanford Park.

Starting with the hosts, watching their extended purple patch come to an end over the weekend as they eventually fell to a 1-0 loss at the hands of Carlisle, Scunthorpe are desperately seeking an immediate response here. Nevertheless, despite only making their National League return this season, Andy Butler’s men have enjoyed a stellar start to proceedings. Getting Tuesday’s return to Lincolnshire underway sat in the play-off places, the Irons have their sights set on mounting another promotion charge this year. Getting October underway with an eye-catching 3-1 victory away at York City, Scunthorpe have lost just one of their first 12 National League appearances since opening up the new campaign. With the mood around Glanford Park at a continued high, the former Doncaster coach should be smelling a golden opportunity in midweek. Despite mustering just a sole win from any of their last four showdowns at Glanford Park across all competitions, the play-off contenders are rightfully installed as a standout contender here.

As for the visitors, losing their League Two status with a whimper last season and dealing with a string of public issues behind the scenes, Morecambe find themselves at the heart of an extended nightmare. Suffering a late collapse against Tamworth over the weekend as they eventually had to settle for a 1-1 stalemate, new boss Ashvir Singh Johal could already have some mounting pressure on his shoulders. Signing off September with a nightmare performance at the Mazuma Mobile Stadium as they slumped to a 5-2 defeat against Gateshead, the Lancashire-based outfit have clinched just a single point from any of their last four National League showdowns. With their crisis underlined by a 5-0 drumming away at Truro on September 27th, Morecambe open the midweek fixtures sat rock-bottom of the table. Already shipping a staggering 33 National League goals so far this season, the Reds face another stern examination here.
