Accrington Stanley

LLWDLL

Accrington Stanley will be looking for an improved result here following a 1-2 League Two defeat in their last game at the hands of Morecambe.

The only player to score from Accrington Stanley was Lewis Shipley (89'). Nelson Khumbeni (55') and Chris Stokes (62') scored for Morecambe.

Three or more goals per match were seen in 6 of the last 6 meetings where Accrington Stanley have played. Opposing sides scored 15 of them in this period while Accrington Stanley managed a tally of 6. We will see whether or not that trend will be sustained here.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Accrington Stanley:

• are without a win at home for the past 4 league games. Things will have to change soon.

Crewe Alexandra

LWLDDL

After being beaten in their last game against Forest Green Rovers in League Two competition, Crewe Alexandra and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

Jordon Garrick (13', 26') and Jamie Robson (28') scored for Forest Green Rovers.

The strike force from Crewe Alexandra have suffered from a shortage of goals in their past 6 games, recording the poor return of only 3. In those matches, The Railwaymen have also seen the overall goal aggregate of opposing teams equal 9.

Pre-game facts show that Crewe Alexandra:

• have left without a victory over Accrington Stanley in away games against them for the last 4 league games. Not good at all.
• haven’t won away from home in the past 3 league matches.
