Scunthorpe United will be looking to return to winning ways this weekend when they take on Bradford City in League One action. The match schedules for Tuesday at Glanford Park, with kickoff at 10 pm.
The home side is struggling to break their current woes after going five matches without a win. It is a run that the home side has drawn four of their matches, while the opponents are winless in their last four.
All attention turns to League One after the International Break coming this week in the Premier League. Draw specialists Scunthorpe managed to secure a point in their Saturday’s home match with Southend United after Alfie Beestin’s last-minute strike.
Their stalemate with Southend United comes with a bitter taste for the hosts, given their opponents were on 500 minutes without a goal sitting second bottom of the division. However, their last four matches have ended with a similar scoreline while sharing the spoils with Salford City, Leyton Orient, and Oldham Atheltic.
Their opponents slipped down to 18th in the division, with 11 points above the relegation zone, while 15 points off the playoffs with a game in hand in play. A mid-table finish is more of a likely outcome at the end of the season. A quick response is a necessity required at Glanford Park on Tuesday. The reverse fixture ended with a 2-2 draw at Valley Parade.
