York City
- York City have won 3, drawn 1 and lost 1 in their last 5 games.
- The hosts have not been as prolific, however, and may struggle to match Scunthorpe’s attacking output in this one, but they have been a lot more solid at the other end with just three goals conceded in four home games so far. This makes our York City FC vs Scunthorpe United betting tips especially interesting for punters looking for defensive solidity.
Scunthorpe United
- Scunthorpe United have gone 5 games unbeaten but have drawn 4 and won just 1 of those.
- Scunthorpe United are unbeaten away in the National League this season, winning 3 and drawing 2.
- Butler’s boys have scored nine goals in five away games this campaign, although they have drawn both of their last 2 away games.
Head-to-Head
The last meeting of these sides in the league two years ago resulted in a cagey 0-0 draw at this ground, but this year’s edition of the contest looks certain to be much more open with both managers now fully established in their roles. For anyone considering the York City FC vs Scunthorpe United prediction, recent encounters may offer useful insight.
Key Players
- Danny Whitehall is their focal point and the frontman has six National League goals in seven appearances so far this term, but his contribution is often less about finishing chances than winning duels in the air or being a focal point for their set-piece play.
- Ollie Pearce has five goals in nine National League appearances and has scored four of York’s last 13 goals.
- Alfie Beestin has three in Scunthorpe’s last five, adding to the potency of their attack.
Betting Insights
- The bet that makes most sense is the draw, but at 1.61 the home side is too short to back them to win outright, which is why our York City FC vs Scunthorpe United betting tips recommend caution here.
- The odds on over 2.5 goals of 1.66 are attractive enough to suggest both sides will feel they can win if they play to their best level.
Prediction
so we’re going to take York City to edge a close match in a bet on the double chance and Scunthorpe United to at least grab a goal .
