An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 23rd and the visitors in 17th place.
The hosts Stevenage saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the EFL Trophy. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Colchester United.
Stevenage form and stats
Stevenage's results here at The Lamex Stadium in the League Two have been very modest with 2 victories, 2 draws and 4 defeats. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at The Lamex Stadium.
Stevenage haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 188 minutes ago. S. Cuthbert scored that one. The Stevenage goalkeeper Paul Farman is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 270 minutes without conceding a goal.
Happy days for Stevenage in their previous game, a EFL Trophy match away at Colchester United (placed 10th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. 0-0 away at Walsall before that.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Stevenage have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eleven matches with the results: Won 4 Drawn 4 Lost 3.
