Scunthorpe United host Forest Green Rovers in a National League fixture at Attis Arena this Saturday afternoon. The match is scheduled for a 14:00 UTC kick-off as the Iron look to improve on their current 21st-place standing, which is built on 10 points from 11 games.
Their recent form is mixed, with two wins and three losses from their last five outings. That sequence includes a 4-1 home victory over Hartlepool but was capped by a 3-0 away defeat to Barrow last time out. The loss at Holker Street saw goals conceded in the 68th, 71st, and 87th minutes. You can review the team's full recent results on our fixtures page.
Opposition outlook
Forest Green arrive in 13th position and have drawn three of their last five matches. Their most recent result was a 1-1 home draw with Wealdstone. Their last five games have produced 10 goals.
Scunthorpe's last starting lineup featured M. Campbell in goal, with a defence of R. Ogle, R. Barrows, S. Ashbee, and J. Starbuck. The midfield and attack were comprised of J. Rowley, D. Batty, P. Jones, J. Butterfield, K. Hurst, and J. Norwood. The club will be looking to those players to tighten up defensively after conceding 19 goals so far this season. The full squad details are available on our squad list.
Saturday's game represents a chance to close the 19-point gap to league leaders Boreham Wood. A positive result would provide a vital boost ahead of the next phase of the season.
