SCENE-SETTER
Our last game saw the Iron defeated 2-1 by Newport County at the Sands Venue Stadium, in a game which saw Abo Eisa on target and Lee Novak sent off.
It was a result which left Scunthorpe sitting 15th in League Two, but victory at the weekend could take the side up to 11th in the table.
Bradford sit sixth going into the weekend, and were defeated 2-1 at Crawley Town in their last game, with substitute Aramide Oteh pulling a goal back late on.

PAST MEETINGS
The two sides met in North Lincolnshire back at the end of September, with Jamie Ward on target from the penalty spot in a 1-1 draw during which Scunthorpe played more than 75 minutes with ten men following Matthew Lund’s red card.
