Barrow v Scunthorpe United

National League, game week 11 — UK time

Step 3 of 4 — Goals, and when they come.

What this step says

Barrow scores heaviest in the 76-90+ spell and concedes heaviest in 76-90+; Scunthorpe United scores heaviest in 76-90+ and concedes heaviest in 16-30. The shapes mesh: Scunthorpe United's strongest scoring spell is exactly where Barrow is softest.

Skip to the appraisal — and the market

Barrow: 50 league matches in the bank, 10 from this season and the rest from last season in the League Two. Scunthorpe United: 50 league matches in the bank, 10 from this season and the rest from last season.

The question this step asks

Step three is GOALS, AND WHEN THEY COME. Not just how many each side scores and lets in, but the minute bands they come in, who lands the first blow, what each side does after falling behind, and who finds goals late. A side that concedes early and scores late reads very differently from one that does the opposite, at the same goal difference.

Side by side: Barrow scores most in the 76-90+ band (15 of 56); Barrow concedes most in the 76-90+ band (26 of 86); Scunthorpe United scores most in the 76-90+ band (19 of 79); Scunthorpe United concedes most in the 16-30 band (16 of 73). Who lands the first blow and who lands the last is the question this step exists to ask.
