Scunthorpe United form and stats

Scunthorpe United, who have the fewest points (0) away in League Two, are still without points from their League Two away games. 4 games, 4 defeats. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in twelve away games in a row.

There were no winners in Scunthorpe United's previous match, a League Two home game that ended 2-2 vs Oldham Athletic (placed 21st). A home win before that, celebrating 3-0 vs Morecambe.

After this away game Scunthorpe United return home for a EFL Trophy game against Leicester U21. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Scunthorpe United as they have only managed to score 3 times from 4 away games in the league. Scunthorpe United are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 3 goals in these matches.
