Accrington Stanley form and stats

Overall League One stats at home this season for Accrington Stanley are 8-4-5 (wins-draw-losses). With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Accrington Stanley to get some points in this home game.

The Accrington Stanley fans got no joy from their last match, a League One game also here at Wham Stadium: A 0-2 defeat against Sunderland (placed 3rd). Heartbreak before that as Accrington lost 2-3 at Milton Keynes Dons's place.

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 have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won three times, drawn zero and lost four.

Wigan Athletic form and stats

6-3-9 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Wigan Athletic in their League One matches away.

Wigan has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to AFC Wimbledon for a League One game that ended a draw (1-1). Ahead of that match was the victory versus Plymouth Argyle at their stadium, the result 2-0.

Wigan are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, six draws and nine defeats. From a total of 18 matches.

There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
