Struggling Scunthorpe United will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Salford City in the upcoming league round. It’s 20th vs 8th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
- Scunthorpe United have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Salford City has the fewest conceded goals (17) in League Two
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
3-2-5 (win-draw-lost) are the League Two numbers at home for Scunthorpe United so far this season.
In their previous game, the manager P. Musselwhite led his Scunthorpe to a defeat in the League Two match away at Stevenage. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at The Park Avenue Stadium. In the game before, an away victory match versus Walsall with a 2-1 scoreline.
The manager P. Musselwhite will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Barrow in only four days.
Scunthorpe are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 10 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 17 goals have been conceded.
Salford City form and stats
The visitors, who have the fewest conceded goals (17) in League Two, are W4-D0-L6 on the road this term. That's in the League Two. Salford seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Salford lost away at Mansfield Town (1-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Leyton Orient wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The League Two trip to Newport County.
Salford have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 10 league away games 10 goals have been scored. As opposed to that, Salford City have seen the ball go into their own net 10 times on the road.
