League Two: Stevenage receive Sutton United in what should be an entertaining football match. Here's a full preview!

Insights:
  • Stevenage have the fewest conceded goals (2) at home in League Two
  • Sutton United have yet to win a game away.

15-9-19 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Sutton United when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 43 matches are 57-57 (scored/conceded).

It's no vacation for neither Stevenage nor Sutton United as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Stevenage form and stats

Stevenage, who have the fewest conceded goals (2) at home in League Two, have collected 15 points from their League Two home games so far after 5-0-0.

Stevenage are returning here after visiting Crawley Town and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. Norris and Roberts scored the goal(s). Manager Evans felt very clever after Norris scored the winning goal against Crawley Town, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 64th minute. The talented striker Rose bettered all others in that match and got a match rating of 7.63 out of 10. Rose dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Ahead of that match, Stevenage won a home game hosting Harrogate Town (1-0).

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 9 games) they have won 5 times, drawn 3 and lost 1.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Stevenage, as the League Two home game vs Swindon Town is only four days away.

The Stevenage fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 5 matches. Defensively Stevenage have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (2 in 5 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Sutton United form and stats

As the visiting team in League Two matches, Sutton United have produced an overall stat of 0-1-4 so far.

Sutton lost away at Gillingham (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Sutton United were so close to getting something from the game against Gillingham, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal one minutes into overtime. Milsom was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.6. The defender Milsom hit three key passes and won 6 of 9 duels.

A 1-2 loss hosting Salford City before that.

We have checked recent matches where Sutton United have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 12 games were 3 victories, 4 draws and 5 defeats.

A new game in only four days for Sutton United, the League Two home match versus Tranmere Rovers. Busy days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Sutton as they have only managed to score 3 times from 5 away games in the league. 7 goals have been conceded by Sutton United in these games.
