Boreham Wood form and stats

When playing at home in the National League, Boreham Wood have managed 4 wins, 7 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 14 games. The trend of drawing games is also valid regardless of arena as Boreham has four draws from their last four matches.

Boreham Wood shared the glory with York City in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. It's a bit interesting, but the exact result 1-1 has occurred three league matches in a row.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Halifax Town.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Boreham matches with similar probabilities have ended with 1 win, 2 draws and 1 defeat (from 4 games).

Trench warfare? Looking at this club's last 18 league matches, 15 have had zero, one or two goals.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Boreham Wood as they have a new game in only three days, a National League match thankfully also at home. Dorking Wanderers are visiting.

The Boreham fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 14 matches. 15 goals have been conceded.

Scunthorpe United form and stats

There's been little loot from Scunthorpe United's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 15 away games in the National League. Scunthorpe United only have 1 win to counter their 9 defeats and 5 draws.

Two away games in a row for Scunthorpe United, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-2 versus Wrexham.

That result followed a home victory 3-2 versus Dagenham & Redbridge.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Scunthorpe United when being an outsider away as they are today, we find 8 matches with the visitors losing 7 times, drawing 1 and winning 0 games.

The schedule is very tough for Scunthorpe United now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A National League game at Maidstone United is waiting in only three days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Scunthorpe as they have only managed to score 12 times from 15 away games in the league. Scunthorpe United's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 28 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

Boreham and Scunthorpe United have faced each other earlier this season: Scunthorpe United - Boreham Wood 0-2.
