Averaging 2.00 goals per game at Sands Venue Stadium, they’ve shown both consistency and attacking sharpness. In contrast, Aldershot Town have struggled away from home, losing their last 3 league trips by margins of 2+ goals and conceding in 13 straight away games. With Scunthorpe’s attacking momentum and Aldershot’s defensive vulnerabilities, the hosts are well-positioned to secure another convincing win.

Scunthorpe have seen over 2.5 goals in 2 of their last 3 meetings with Aldershot, while Aldershot have scored 2+ goals in 67% of their recent away league games ??' despite often conceding heavily.
