Stevenage form and stats

As mentioned below, Stevenage are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 League Two games.

Stevenage's last game was hosting Rochdale (placed 24th) and winning 1-0. Midfielder Read was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.6 (out of ten) in that game. Read served one assist, hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 25 successful passes (of 29 total).

Preceding that game was the away draw at Walsall that finished 1-1.

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 7 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 3 and lost 1.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Stevenage, as the Carabao Cup home game vs Peterborough United is only three days away.

At The Lamex Stadium, Stevenage has the goal stats of 3-1 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
