Match Preview | Scunthorpe United

The Bees travel to Glanford Park to play Scunthorpe United on Friday as they look to make it 4 wins and 4 clean sheets on the bounce.

 

The Bees will be looking to take their points total for the season to 50 points and close the gap to Chesterfield in 4th  down to just 2 points.

Scunthorpe United, on the other hand, will be eager to come away with 3 points which could prove to be crucial in their bid to stay in the 5th tier of English football.

 

The two sides have only ever met each other once and that was earlier on in the season. The sides settled for a 1-1 draw at The Hive thanks to goals from Scunthorpe’s Robert Apter and Barnet’s Harry Pritchard.
