Saturday 7th January 2017 – Kickoff: 1500hrs
Football – England – League One Betting Tips
Scunthorpe United relinquished their position at the top of League One following a run of mixed results which has seen them register just one league win from their last six matches overall.
However, Scunthorpe return to Glanford Park for this afternoon’s clash with struggling Bury as the hosts still remain unbeaten on home turf with a record of 7-5-0 27/8 under their belts so far this season – only Bradford City also remain unbeaten at home in the division.
Scunthorpe have registered recent wins at home over Swindon Town 4-1, Oldham Athletic 1-0 and 3-0 over Millwall as the goals have continued to flow, and indeed only Rochdale (28) have scored more goals at home than Scunthorpe so far this season. Anytime goalscorers look like van Veen and Madden up front for the hosts.
Visitors Bury have now endured a staggering 15-match sequence without a win in League One following another dismal display at Gigg Lane recently where they lost 3-1 to new league leaders Sheffield United.
The Shakers are currently perched just above the relegation zone but courtesy only of a slightly better goal difference than Chesterfield, and a tough trip away to Scunthorpe United awaits them here this afternoon as they look to get something from this encounter.
But Bury possess an average looking away record of 2-4-7 16/26 and are without a win from their last eight matches on their travels (having lost six of these), along with keeping just two clean sheets on the road to date.
