Scunthorpe's record over the same run is 8 wins, 3 draws and 9 losses, and they've scored 39 goals compared to Boston's 22. Their form is patchy too though - two wins, three losses and a draw in their last five league games.

Scunthorpe look the more dangerous side going forward, but neither team is reliable week to week.

Head-to-head history

These two have met three times in recent seasons. Scunthorpe won 6-3 away at Boston United back in February, then Boston United drew 1-1 at home to Scunthorpe in October 2025.

Before that, the sides played out a goalless draw in a National League North play-off tie in 2024. Aside from that one high-scoring afternoon, these meetings have generally been tight.

How this one could go

With Boston United struggling at home and Scunthorpe capable of scoring goals when things click for them, there's a chance this game opens up rather than staying cagey throughout.

Boston have also shown they can keep things tight, drawing four of their last 20 matches, so a low-scoring, scrappy affair is just as plausible given how unpredictable both sides have been.
