Recent respective form guides

Scunthorpe United need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Iron have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Charlton Ath.'s away form is none too clever either, losing only 1 of the last six, but drawing 4 of them. A generous 9 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Scunthorpe U. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola Championship with a return of just 27 points from their 29 games thus far. Charlton Ath.'s total of 47 points from their 29 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola Championship.
