Scunthorpe United form and stats

The visitors' first away game ended a defeat. Last season Scunthorpe United had these away match statistics: Played 23; won 6, drew 3 and lost 14. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Scunthorpe United, who have now gone 13 games without a victory. The Southend United game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on P. Hurst, the Scunthorpe United manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

There were no winners in Scunthorpe United's previous match, a League Two home game that ended 2-2 vs Crawley Town. The game before that, in the Carabao Cup, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Derby County.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Scunthorpe United manager P. Hurst as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Macclesfield Town.

1 goal so far away for Scunthorpe United, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 4. All from 1 match.
