The battle for the play-off spots in League One could take another twist on Tuesday night, as rivals Scunthorpe and Plymouth go head-to-head at Glanford Park.
The home side occupy the last play-off position, while the visitors are just a place and two points behind. However, Scunthorpe’s superior goal difference means that a draw would likely be enough to seal their spot in the top-six.
A six-game unbeaten run in the league has moved Nick Daws into a healthy position in the third tier. The home side has won their last three league games, without conceding.
Scunthorpe’s last six league games have produced under 2.5 goals, so have been very tight affairs.
The Iron have a poor recent home record in League One, winning just one of their last eight games at Glanford Park. However, they have picked up four points from their last two games on home soil.
Scunthorpe have won the last four meetings between these two teams, so will be looking to continue that good run in this clash.
Plymouth’s recent league form has been inconsistent, which has led to the Pilgrims falling out of the League One play-off spots.
Derek Adams side has won just one of their last four league games, which was last time out against Rotherham United.
Argyle’s away form has not helped their chances of securing a top-six finish, as the visitors have won just three of their last nine outings on their travels. Their recent away games in League One have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 scored in their last five outings in the third tier.
This game is crucial for both teams. However, Forebet predicts that this game will end all square, which will mean advantage to the home side in the race to secure a top-six finish and a play-off spot.
