Sutton Double Chance
Newly promoted Sutton took just one point from their first two League Two matches of the campaign, though they gave a good account of themselves in each contest, particularly in their 0-0 draw at Salford last time out. Scunthorpe meanwhile, failed to take advantage of a kind opening set of fixtures and they are still searching for their first victory of the season. Sutton look well-drilled enough to avoid defeat against their uninspiring hosts on Saturday and they are worth backing the double chance market with that in mind.
Under 2.5 Goals
Both Scunthorpe and Sutton have toiled in the final third in the early exchanges of the campaign, netting just twice and once respectively so far. With excitement in short supply, each of The Iron’s last three matches produced under 2.5 goals and another game of few chances and slim margins is on the cards when Scunthorpe take on Sutton on Saturday.
Highest Scoring Half: Second
The evidence suggests that supporters attending the Sands View Stadium this weekend might have to wait until the second half to see any action. Remarkably, 100% of the seven goals scored in games involving Scunthorpe this term were struck after the interval, while two of the three efforts registered in Sutton’s League Two fixtures so far were notched in the second period.
Scunthorpe vs Sutton: Match Preview
Scunthorpe
Scunthorpe are the bookmakers’ favourites for the drop this season and The Iron have plenty of winkles to smooth out if they are to avoid being relegated this term. Neil Cox’s men showed spirit to rescue a point at the death against Walsall on Tuesday, though their equalizer was just one of two efforts on target at Banks’s Stadium.
Sutton
Sutton earned the first EFL point in their 123-year long history last week when they battled their way to a useful draw at Salford City. Matt Gray’s history-makers are feeling their way into life in League Two, though only four clubs have conceded more shots per game on average so far in the division and the The Amber and Chocolates will have to tighten up defensively to make a more positive impact.
