Scunthorpe United
- Scunthorpe United have won one, drawn one, and lost three of their last five National League 2025/2026 matches.
- Scunthorpe United have won ten of their 15 National League 2025/2026 home games, conceding 16 goals at Glanford Park.
- The hosts are also coming off a 3-6 home loss to Boston United FC, which should give York some encouragement.
- After 31 games, Scunthorpe United sit fifth in the table with 60 points, which is an impressive return for a newly promoted team and one which has been achieved with some panache by Jimmy Dean, whose pragmatism is based on exploiting transitions at speed.
York City FC
- York City FC have won five consecutive matches, with their last result being a 0-3 road victory over Wealdstone.
- York City FC, who are unbeaten away from home in National League 2025/2026 (W11, D4), will likely maintain their momentum and secure a positive result against an inconsistent Scunthorpe United in a fascinating Tuesday night clash between two teams with contrasting styles and aspirations.
- In the space of a season, Maynard has moulded a team that dictates possession, builds up a methodical rhythm, and uses a structured high press to get the ball back in the opposition half.
Key Players
-
Top scorers:
- Callum Roberts is the talisman of Scunthorpe’s success in the National League 2025/2026, netting 15 goals in 28 appearances, while five of his team’s last eight goals have come from his boot.
- Ollie Pearce is on 27 goals in 32 games and is the National League 2025/2026’s most lethal finisher.
Betting Insights
- At 1.77, York City FC are the odds-on favorites with the bookmakers, and for good reason, but the draw at 3.8 and Scunthorpe at 3.66 offer some value.
- A 2-1 away win in the correct score market offers value, while Over 2.5 goals at 1.53 is also a great price given the attacking talent on display and the recent trends of both teams.
Prediction
York have scored an impressive 32 goals in 15 away games in the National League 2025/2026, and that attacking firepower, coupled with their superior form, unbeaten away record, and the fact that they can make the game flow in their direction, should see them edge this contest.
