Peterborough United form and stats
Peterborough United are steadily winning League One games and points here at Weston Homes Stadium. 5 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat is the summary from 7 games.
A good away victory last time out for Peterborough, who won 2-1 against Oxford United (placed 19th). Midfielder Taylor was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.05 (out of ten) in that game. Taylor scored one goal and hit one key pass.
In the fixture before, 1-1 away to Wycombe Wanderers (after extra-time, 4-3 on penalties) (EFL Trophy).
Both teams to score! That has happened in 5 league rounds in a row for this club. Will it happen again?
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Cambridge United are coming to town in four days.
The Peterborough United manager McCann has got the team scoring with 17 from 7 home games in the league. Peterborough have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only {3 goals}.
Accrington Stanley form and stats
Playing away, Accrington Stanley have won 2 games, drawn 1 and suffered 3 defeats in the League One this season. Recent form does not give Accrington Stanley much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Peterborough United will be a tough nut to crack.
Accrington's previous game was their home loss versus Bolton Wanderers (2-3). Leading 2-0 was not enough for Accrington Stanley in their fight with Bolton Wanderers last time out. Happy faces soon turned sour as mistakes flourished in what ended up a 2-3 loss. Pritchard got a match rating of 7.44 in that game, top player of the team. Pritchard served one assist, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
Before that game, the victory at home against Liverpool U21 in the EFL Trophy (3-2). As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Accrington Stanley playing away, we found 5 games. Results were 0 away wins, 1 draw and 4 home wins.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Accrington manager Coleman as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Fleetwood Town.
The attacking power of Accrington Stanley when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 6 league matches away. As opposed to that, Accrington Stanley have seen the ball go into their own net 7 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Peterborough United seven wins, zero draws and Accrington Stanley three victories. As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four games had two or less.
