Season ticket holders at Glanford Park haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Scunthorpe United languishing in the 22nd position so far. The guesting Northampton Town will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

The visiting Northampton Town played their last game only four days ago, a EFL Trophy match. That game was also an away game, at Cambridge United. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
