Accrington S. play host to Bournemouth at Fraser Eagle Stadium on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. Of the 4 previous meetings, 2 have been drawn, and 2 won by the The Reds.
The last time the two teams met at Accrington S. was just over four years ago, in December 2003, when they played out a goalless draw in an F.A. Cup match.

Recent respective form guides
Accrington Stanley's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While The Reds have scored 6, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.
Bournemouth's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the Cherries have hit 8 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Accrington S. find themselves struggling down in 16th position in the league having picked up 15 points from their 15 matches. Bournemouth are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League Two with a return of just -3 points from their 14 games thus far.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Accrington S. at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the The Reds will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
