A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Cheltenham Town fans are optimistic that the difference between 3rd and Scunthorpe United's 21st place in the table will show on the pitch.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Scunthorpe United form and stats
No League Two points yet away for Scunthorpe United, from their first 2 matches. It's a growing despair in Scunthorpe as they have recorded three consecutive losses. Scunthorpe United seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
