Hide AdStar men: Midfielder Ross Hannah and striker Ashley Worsfold both caused Boro issues during the 1-0 win at Trinity.
Away view: Boss Lee Sinnott said: "Scarborough have had an excellent start to the season, but there is still an awful lot of football to play. We want three points on the board and I think we can feel justifiably aggrieved that we didn't get anything out of the home fixture, so we'll be looking to put that right on Saturday. It is a difficult place to go, especially with it being on artificial turf. It is a nice ground and they'll have decent support behind them, but if we can play our football and show resilience then I don't see why we can't be positive up there."
Team news: Boro will welcome back Bailey Gooda from a groin injury, which will bring boss Steve Kittrick another selection headache.
Gainsborough's only doubt is Ross Hannah, who limped off with a hamstring issue on Tuesday.
