Tamworth’s recent results have been inconsistent, although their home form offers encouragement. They secured a 2-0 victory over Sutton United before subsequently losing to Barrow, Leeds United U21 notwithstanding, and Carlisle. Their most recent outing ended in a 2-1 FA Cup defeat at Carlisle United on 17 October. Across their last five matches in all competitions, the Lambs have recorded three wins and two defeats, scoring six goals; returning to The Lamb Ground therefore provides an opportunity to regain momentum.

Scunthorpe arrive following a 3-2 home defeat against Woking, their third loss in five matches across all competitions. That sequence also includes a 3-1 league win at Boston United, a 2-2 National League Cup draw with Derby County U21 and defeats against AFC Fylde and Barrow. The Iron’s 2026/27 squad features goalkeeper Louis Jones, defenders Reagan Ogle, Branden Horton and Tyler Denton, midfielders Joe Rowley, Jacob Butterfield and Jordan Richards, and attacking options including Declan Howe, Alfie Beestin, Luke Brennan and James Norwood. Tamworth can call upon Jas Singh, Rhys Lovett, Tom Parkes, Haydn Hollis, Ben Milnes, Teo Kurtaran, Morgan Roberts, Dan Creaney and Kieren Donnelly.

Recent head-to-head history favours Scunthorpe, who won both league meetings during the 2025/26 season: 2-1 at Tamworth and 3-1 at home. Nevertheless, the visitors’ defensive vulnerability and Tamworth’s generally stronger home performances suggest that the Lambs can reverse that trend. Scunthorpe have conceded nine goals across their last five matches, while Tamworth have kept two clean sheets during the same period. Expect the hosts to press aggressively and create the clearer chances, although Scunthorpe possess enough attacking quality to score. Our prediction is a 3-1 Tamworth victory, corresponding to a home win at European odds of approximately 2
