Recent respective form guides

Accrington Stanley's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While The Reds have scored 6, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Stockport Co.'s away form is none too clever either, with a marvellous return of five wins and one defeat from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 12 goals for the Hatters, and 8 goals against.

Accrington S. find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 36 points from their 32 matches. Stockport Co.'s total of 50 points from their 32 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola League Two.
