Recent respective form guides
Plymouth Argyle's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While Pilgrims have scored 4, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.
Scunthorpe U.'s away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the Iron have hit 7 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Plymouth Arg. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola Championship with a return of just 5 points from their 10 games thus far. Scunthorpe U. find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 11 points from their 10 matches.
