Recent respective form guides
Accrington Stanley need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While The Reds have scored 13, a worringly large 16 have been leaked at the other end.
Bury's away form is none too clever either, tasting just one defeat in their last six, and picking up four good wins. The games have constituted a decent return of 12 goals for the The Shakers, and 10 goals against.
Accrington S. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 22 points from 23 matches. Bury lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola League Two, picking up 32 from their 23 games so far.
