Scunthorpe United

LLLDLD ⚠

In their last fixture, Scunthorpe United drew 1-1 in the League Two match with Hartlepool United.

The only name on the scoresheet from Scunthorpe United was Cameron Wilson (49'). Nicky Featherstone (72') scored for Hartlepool United.

The strike force from Scunthorpe United have failed to get amongst the goals over their last 6 games, recording the unsatisfactory return of only 3. In those matches, The Irons have also seen the overall goal tally of their opponents equal 12. Such a pattern might not follow through into this game, of course.

Analysis of their past results shows that Scunthorpe United:

• remain unbeaten by Bristol Rovers in games played away from home for the previous 6 matches in the league. Travelling fans have really enjoyed these clashes.
• are without an away win for the past 10 league matches. A poor run.
