As part of a new feature and just for a bit of fun, we will give Iron fans betting tips ahead of every Scunthorpe United fixture this season.
We will calculate how we are doing by totting up profits, as if we were putting on a £1 stake per tip.
Barnsley v Scunthorpe
As Barnsley took a 4-0 home hammering at the hands of Wigan on the opening day, it is likely David Flitcroft will field a fairly strong team for the Carling Cup first round tie with the Iron. Brian Laws could give Chris Iwelumo a run out in place of Deon Burton at Oakwell, whilst Christian Ribeiro will deputise for the suspended Eddie Nolan.
The 4/1 currently being offered for an away win inside 90 minutes is a great price. It will be interesting to see how the new look Iron side fair against Championship opposition but we can see us nicking it.
Elsewhere Bradford may continue last years' cup heroics as they face Huddersfield in a Yorkshire derby and Fleetwood to beat Notts County looks quite tempting to complete a massive 69/1 away win treble.
