Recent respective form guides

Scunthorpe United's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Iron have scored 7, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Hull City's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. Only 3 goals have been registered in this time, with 5 leaked at the wrong end.

Scunthorpe U. see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola Championship, showing a record of 20 points from their 16 games played so far, Hull City's 22 points from 16 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position.
