Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Scunthorpe United & Solihull Moors face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the FA Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Scunthorpe United form and stats
Last season, Scunthorpe's FA Cup journey ended in the 1st round.The story so far in the League Two for Scunthorpe United at their home stadium (The Park Avenue Stadium) is 1 win, 1 draw and 2 defeats. It's trouble wherever Scunthorpe United are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Scunthorpe United, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
No payout for Scunthorpe in their previous match, an away game at Exeter City that ended in defeat 1-3. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Cheltenham Town (0-1).
Scunthorpe United's goalkeeper Mark Howard was extremely busy against Exeter City, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning seven saves.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Scunthorpe have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won zero times, drawn three and lost two.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the EFL Trophy game versus Mansfield Town in only two days. This game is also played here at The Park Avenue Stadium.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Scunthorpe here at The Park Avenue Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (3 from 4 games). Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Scunthorpe have allowed the opposition to score 10 goals here at The Park Avenue Stadium.
Solihull Moors form and stats
They also participated in FA Cup last season. This ended in the 2nd round.The Vanarama National League season is young and Solihull Moors have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row.
Two away games in a row for Solihull Moors, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-3 versus Maidenhead United in the Vanarama National League. Ahead of that match was the Vanarama National League away draw versus Stockport County that ended 0-0.
Solihull Moors are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, two draws and zero defeats. From a total of two matches.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Solihull manager J. Shan as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Altrincham.
The visitors have scored 2 goals from 3 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As for defending, Solihull rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 5 goals from these away matches.
