Accrington Stanley form and stats

Accrington Stanley have only played one League One game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 10 wins, 7 draws and 6 defeats from 23 matches.

A nice win for Accrington last time playing, versus Cambridge United. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with Harry Pell and Matt Butcher scoring for the victors. Sean McConville (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 8.13/10. McConville signed up for two assists, hit five key passes and dribled passed the opponent 2 of 2 times.

In the game before, an away victory in the Carabao Cup match versus Rotherham United with a 2-1 scoreline.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Accrington Stanley have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won three times, drawn zero and lost five.

The manager J. Coleman will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Crewe Alexandra in only four days.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Accrington Stanley at home in the league. 2 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.

Doncaster Rovers form and stats

The visitors' first away game in the League One ended in defeat. Last season Doncaster Rovers had these away match statistics: Played 23; won 8, drew 3 and lost 12.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Doncaster, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus Sheffield Wednesday (placed 6th). Midfielder John Bostock was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.83. Bostock hit two key passes and had 62 successful passes (of 67 total).

A 0-0 draw at Walsall (after extra-time, 3-4 on penalties)'s stadium before that.

Doncaster are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is four wins, zero draws and five defeats. From a total of nine matches.

A new game in only four days for Doncaster, the League One home match versus Portsmouth. Busy days.

Doncaster Rovers have the goal stats of 0-2 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

Last nine meetings involving these sides: Accrington Stanley won six, Doncaster Rovers were winners in one and we saw two draws. five games with over 2,5 goals, four matches with less than 2,5 goals.
