Tony Humes’ charges travel to North Lincolnshire as 7/4 favourites, according to the league’s official betting sponsor Sky Bet, after they beat Fleetwood 2-1 last weekend.Robins’ team will be full of confidence under their new boss following the 3-0 away victory at Gillingham last time out and Sky Bet have the home side valued at 7/5 for the three points.
The visitors have drawn three times this season, while the Claret and Blue have just once and a draw on Saturday is 5/2.
The Iron are 25/1 to repeat last week’s 3-0 scoreline against the Essex side, while 2-0 is 12/1 and both 1-0 and 2-1 are 17/2.
In 2008, at Glanford Park, there was a 3-3 draw between the two sides and a repeat scoreline is 50/1.
Colchester’s last win at the home of the Iron was in 1995, when Niall Thompson’s double helped them to a 4-3 victory and the same score this weekend is 100/1.
If you think both teams will score, you will get odds of 4/7 while a double chance of Scunthorpe or draw is 2/5.
Scunthorpe to win and both teams to score is 100/30 and a draw with over 2.5 goals in the game is 9/1.
Our five-goal top scorer Paddy Madden is the favourite Iron player to score first or last, valued at 5/1 while he is 11/8 to bag anytime.
Despite returning to action three minutes from time in Saturday’s win, ex-Gillingham forward Deon Burton is the second favourite Scunthorpe player to score first or anytime, 6/1 and 7/4 respectively.
Rory Fallon has two goals in four games for the club and he is 12/5 anytime, while Neal Bishop, who grabbed his second of the season at the MEMS Priestfield, is 6/1 to score anytime in the game.
Meanwhile Gary McSheffrey, who also scored in Kent, is 16/1 to bag a brace at Glanford Park.
Former Iron loan man Freddie Sears is 6/1 to score anytime against the club he played nine times for during his two-month stay in North Lincolnshire.
Rhys Healey is also priced the same as Sears, while former Arsenal player Sanchez Watt is 12/5 to get on the score sheet at any given time.
