Recent respective form guides

Scunthorpe United need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Iron have scored 5, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Q.P.R.'s away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Rangers have hit 5 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Scunthorpe U. find themselves struggling down in 18th position in the league having picked up 22 points from their 20 matches. Q.P.R. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 19 games have yielded only 16 points.
