AFC Fylde
- AFC Fylde's form has been patchy over the past five matches with three defeats and two victories, but they are still well in the pack of chasing teams in the National League 2026/2027 in seventh spot with 20 points from 12 games.
- The Coasters press high up the field, try to win the ball back early and quickly, and do not fear playing vertically, even if that makes them vulnerable to the counterattack.
- Fylde come into this game after a run of two straight defeats, having lost 0-2 at home to Carlisle United last time out and 3-1 away at Southend United the time before.
Scunthorpe United
- Scunthorpe United have won two and lost three of their last five National League 2026/2027 games.
- Scunthorpe United have been more disappointing with their return of 10 points from 11 fixtures landing them in 21st place in the National League 2026/2027 table, with the table starting to stare them in the face.
- Scunthorpe's away form in the National League 2026/2027 is one win and five defeats from six outings, a run that is difficult to get out of, but they have scored six goals in that half dozen matches, which is enough to stay alive and potentially cause problems for the hosts.
Key Players
- Luca Thomas has been Fylde's main danger man so far this season, leading their scoring in the National League 2026/2027 with six goals in nine games.
- Tom Whelan has been their biggest spark over the most recent five matches, scoring two of Fylde's four goals in that spell.
- Alfie Beestin has been Scunthorpe's most lethal weapon, but he only has two goals in the National League 2026/2027 so far this term.
Betting Insights
- Fylde are the slight favorites at 1.87 ahead of Scunthorpe at 3.44 and the draw at 4.45, but the value lies in the overs and both teams to score odds of 1.42 and 1.41 respectively.
- Over 2.5 goals are likely as the visitors will have a go and Fylde, who have conceded eight goals in five National League 2026/2027 home games, are not infallible at the back.
