Scunthorpe, currently sixth in the National League, will host Peterborough Sports in the FA Trophy third round. Manager Andy Butler's side has enjoyed a strong start to the season, following their promotion from the National League North last season. Peterborough Sports, on the other hand, is struggling in the relegation zone of the National League North. Manager Phil Brown is confident that his team can cause an upset, despite being 45 places lower than Scunthorpe in the league standings. Brown told Peterborough Community Radio that his team needs to approach the game in the right manner and start well to have a chance of winning. Scunthorpe won promotion from the National League North last season, with the biggest budget in the league, which helped them secure the top spot. Peterborough Sports will be without captain Dan Jarvis and ex-Football League pro Mustapha Carayol for the match. The city side slipped back into the relegation zone after a 2-0 home loss to Hereford United last time out. Scunthorpe's strong start to the season has been impressive, with Andy Butler's hardy bunch of players prepared to stand up and fight. The team's set-piece coach has made a significant impact on the team's performance. Peterborough Sports has shown that they can cause upsets, with wins over Radcliffe and Kidderminster this season. The match will be a tough test for Scunthorpe, but they are expected to take the game seriously. The outcome of the match is uncertain, with both teams having a lot to play for. Scunthorpe's home advantage could be a decisive factor in the match. The team's fans will be hoping for a win to advance to the next round of the FA Trophy.
