York City form and stats

6-5-8 (win-draw-lost) are the National League numbers at home for York City so far this season. When York City hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Aldershot Town, Gateshead, Yeovil Town, Torquay United, Dorking Wanderers, York City and Maidstone United), they have won 4 of 5 matches!

York City are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-3 away versus Wrexham.

Before that, York City had a home game versus Dorking Wanderers which ended with a victory 2-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how York City have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 13 games) they have won 5 times, drawn 3 and lost 5.

Goal fest? Who knows what will happen in this one, but we do know that 8 of the 10 latest league games with this team has had at least three goals.

York has scored 24 league goals at home this season, in 19 matches. York City have conceded 27 in these home matches.

Scunthorpe United form and stats

There's been little loot from Scunthorpe United's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 19 away games in the National League. Scunthorpe United only have 1 win to counter their 12 defeats and 6 draws. Scunthorpe United seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

There might be some fixture complaints from Scunthorpe as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, 0-4 against Notts County. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Notts County was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.

A home win before that, celebrating 4-1 vs Wealdstone.

We have checked recent matches where Scunthorpe United have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 13 games were 1 victory, 5 draws and 7 defeats.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Torquay United in just four days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Scunthorpe United as they have only managed to score 14 times from 19 away games in the league.
