Stevenage form and stats

Last season, Stevenage's league statistics were 14 wins, 18 draws and 14 losses, resulting in a 14th position in the League Two. Over these 46 matches they scored 41 goals and conceded 41. Playing at home last season Stevenage managed 8-8-7 (win-draw-lost) with 26 goals and 20 conceded.

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

The match schedule is unforgiving for Stevenage as they have a new game in only three days, a Carabao Cup match thankfully also at home. Luton Town are visiting.

Stevenage have spent many days and weeks preparing for this match, with countless hours on the training pitches and five practice matches played. These training games have ended with 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat. Some might be interested in the goal production stats for these matches; Stevenage scored 5 goals and let in 2 goals during these five games.
