This match features two teams living in the basement of the League Two, Scunthorpe United holding 24th place and Morecambe lying 20th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Scunthorpe United form and stats

Three League Two home games done for Scunthorpe United, who are not happy collecting 1 point from these matches. With eight home games in a row without a win, the Scunthorpe United fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Southend United game long ago, can be stopped today.

Scunthorpe United lost their last game at Mansfield Town (placed 12th) after a 0-2 scoreline. Before that match, a EFL Trophy win away at Grimsby Town.

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 United have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won 2 times, drawn 3 and lost 2.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Oldham Athletic are coming to town in three days.

Scunthorpe United have scored 2 league goals here from 3 matches, not a lot. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Scunthorpe United defense is not exactly impregnable. 5 goals conceded from 3 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Morecambe form and stats

Morecambe are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the League Two, having played 3 games and collected 4 points (1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Morecambe's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Morecambe's last game was the home draw against Salford City (2-2). It was a EFL Trophy defeat before that one as the away game against Blackpool wasn't a success with a 1-5 loss.

We have checked recent matches where Morecambe have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 15 games were W1-D8-L6.

A new game in only three days for Morecambe, the League Two home match versus Walsall. Busy days.

Morecambe find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 4 goals from 3 away fixtures in the league. In the opposite end, Morecambe have conceded 5 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last three matches): Scunthorpe United 1 win, 2 draws and Morecambe 0 victories. As for goals, 0 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 3 games had two or less.
