Coventry City have yet to record a league victory at Scunthorpe United's Glanford Park home.

Although the Sky Blues did win a friendly 3-0 at Glanford Park on July 24th 2002, they have not recorded a league victory since, losing 2-1 and 1-0 last season.

This is the ninth time the two sides have met in league and cup matches. City have won on three occasions with two draws and have scored 18 goals compared to Scunthorpe's 10.
The last game between the two sides was on February 27th and saw a 2-1 win for City but the last game at Glanford Park was the game shown live on Sky on December 6th 2009, which saw Gary Madine waste chances to get City back in the match after Gary Hooper had scored in the 26th minute.

The teams on that Sunday lunchtime were:
Coventry Westwood, Cranie, Barnett, Wood, Hall (Hussey 65), Eastwood, Cork, Gunnarsson, McIndoe (Madine 78), Best Morrison SNU Konstantopolous, Clarke, Jeffers, McPake

Scunthorpe Murphy (Lillis 12), Bryrne, Mirfin, Jones, Williams, O'Connor, McCann, J.Wright, Woolford, Hayes (Friend 91), Hooper (Thompson 88) SNU A. Wright, Tugwell, Sparrow, Fonte.
