Recent respective form guides

Scunthorpe United's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While Iron have scored 4, a worringly large 15 have been leaked at the other end.

Nottm. Forest's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. The Forest's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.

Scunthorpe U. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 20 points from 20 matches. Nottm. Forest's 27 points from 19 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 9th position.
