Truro City (Home)
- There are crucial points at both ends of the National League standings up for grabs when 6th placed Scunthorpe United face 24th placed Truro City FC on Tuesday.
- Truro’s home record is also worrying for Askey, as the hosts have lost nine and won just five of their 17 home league fixtures at Treyew Road.
- Truro score and concede the same amount of goals per home match, 1.35, which suggests they are defensively frail and lack the power to hurt opponents like Scunthorpe.
Scunthorpe United (Away)
- Scunthorpe’s form has been mixed, winning one, drawing one and losing three of their last five league matches.
- However, Scunthorpe’s recent victory came away at Yeovil Town and Andy Butler’s team have been very solid on the road this season, winning eight and drawing six of their 18 National League away games.
- Scunthorpe score 1.78 goals per away match and concede 1.50, so their games tend to be open, attacking affairs.
Head-to-Head
Scunthorpe will fancy their chances of getting the three points after a crushing 4-0 victory in the reverse fixture earlier this season and Truro City’s recent form is terrible, with the hosts winless in their last five league games, losing 4 and drawing once.
Key Players
- Danny Whitehall is Scunthorpe’s talisman, scoring 18 goals in 30 league appearances, and he has scored 6 of the last 8 goals that his team have scored.
- In terms of attacking talent, Truro are unlikely to hurt Scunthorpe as much as they would like, with Tyler Harvey their main man up front on 5 goals in 26 league matches.
- Andy Butler has a 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 that plays possession but hits players wide to attack with pace.
Betting Insights
The bet of both teams to score - yes is the best bet for this game at 1.6 , as it is in almost every game that Scunthorpe play and there will be goals in this one.
Prediction
- Scunthorpe are superior at this level, have dominated the head-to-head record this campaign and have more firepower and composure than Truro.
- Scunthorpe should have enough to get another win against the relegation battlers, but this game could have been close had the home team been more solid in the last two games, which they lost at Treyew Road.
