We said: Leyton Orient 3-0 Scunthorpe United
Scunthorpe have been at their best against the teams near the top of the table, but they still lack consistency on the back end, and that is what will likely see them drop down into the National League next season. Wallens has asked his side to produce more quality while making all of their possession count, and given how fragile the Iron have been defensively in this campaign, you have to think that Leyton will be able to bury a few of their chances on Friday.
