Accrington Stanley form and stats

Accrington Stanley have only collected 12 points from their away games in the League One, after 3-3-8 (14 played). Accrington Stanley seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

"Man of the match" McConville scored one goal, signed up for three assists, hit four key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 20 successful passes (of 25 total).
