Scunthorpe United form and stats

There's been little loot from Scunthorpe United's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 18 away games in the League Two. Scunthorpe United only have 1 win to counter their 10 defeats and 7 draws.

Scunthorpe United might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Barrow proved too strong as Scunthorpe United slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Glanford Park.

A loss against Colchester United was the result prior to that, in a home game.

The visitors have scored 12 goals from 18 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

These competitors have met earlier this season: Scunthorpe United - Salford 1-1. Head-2-head stats last four meetings: one - three - zero (Salford City wins - draws - Scunthorpe United wins). As for goals, zero matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.
