I'm slightly hesitant to write this as some recent previews seem to have been followed by atrocious localised weather conditions at the ground in question. However if the game survives the snowstorms, hurricanes or heatwaves that may now be on their way to Glanford Park this will be the 11th game Watford have played away at Scunthorpe United. We've won 5, drawn 3 and lost 2, scoring 11 and conceding 6.
All but one of our away games against The Iron took place at The Old Showground, where Scunthorpe played before Glanford Park was built in 1988. Our only visit to their current stadium was back in 2007/8 in the Championship when Aidy Boothroyd's Watford won 3-1. Adam Johnson, Darius Henderson and Marlon got our goals.
This season we met back in November at the Vic where we won 3-0 with two H goals and one from Danny Graham, which was the last time he scored for us.
Scunny are currently 17th, two places behind us. They've got 36 points from 31 games compared to our 38 from 29 games. At home this season their record reads won 7, drawn 3 and lost 5. So far in February they've lost to Palace, West Brom and Leicester but beat Barnsley at home 2-1 on Tuesday night scoring a winner 5 minutes into injury time.
We could do with starting to win away games again. It was unfortunate that the golden opportunity to start was taken away from us on Tuesday night and that we'll have to wait until late April now for that particular opponent. However tomorrow's is certainly a game we should be able to win if we can just start replicating some of our home form on the road.
