Scunthorpe United
- Scunthorpe United are having a solid season in the National League, currently sitting 5th in the table with 82 points from 45 games.
- Their form has dipped of late with 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat in their last 5 fixtures, but their home record has been impressive, winning 12 of 22 games in the National League (D6, L4).
Eastleigh
- Eastleigh have had a challenging season in the National League and will be very happy with their current league position of 19th, sitting on 47 points from their 45 games.
- Their recent form has been poor with 1 win from their last 5, a 1-0 away defeat to Altrincham and a 1-1 home draw with Tamworth.
- Eastleigh’s away record has been particularly poor this season with 5 wins, 5 draws and 12 defeats from 22 away games.
- They have scored 24 goals in those games, which suggests they should score at least once in this game.
Head-to-Head
- Scunthorpe have not beaten Eastleigh in their last 3 National League encounters.
- The last time these sides met was a 1-1 draw at Eastleigh.
Key Players
- Scunthorpe have a man in form in Declan Howe who has scored 2 of their last 4 goals in their previous 5 games.
- Eastleigh will be looking to Aaron Blair, who has been in great form with 17 goals in 38 National League games this season, as their biggest threat up front.
Betting Insights
- There is an interesting contrast in playing style here that should lead to an open and attacking game.
- I am taking over 2.5 goals at 1.47 and both teams to score at 1.52.
Prediction
Scunthorpe should win this match, but both sides have goal-scorers, so I am confident we will see plenty of action in front of goal.
