Scunthorpe United's struggle is real here at Sands Venue Stadium with only 14 points collected from 21 League Two games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-5-13. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in twelve attempts.
