Accrington Stanley Preview – Will Accy make home advantage count this weekend?
Accrington Stanley are having another decent season in League One. Accy, who finished 11th last term, are in mid-table at present, amassing a respectable 36 points from 27 league games. The play-offs are far away, though Stanley are well clear of the bottom three.
John Coleman’s troops are without a win in four League One matches. However, the 2-1 loss to Ipswich Town at Portman Road last weekend was their first reverse in five in the league. Accrington have suffered only two League One defeats since November.
Accrington are unbeaten in four league fixtures at the Crown Ground, winning two and drawing two. Only Wigan Athletic, Plymouth Argyle, Sheffield Wednesday and Wimbledon have left with maximum points this season. Can the hosts make home advantage count in this one?
Morecambe Preview – Can the Shrimps follow up Wycombe win with a positive reuslt?
Morecambe picked up a stunning win over title-chasing Wycombe Wanderers last weekend. Goals from Anthony O’Connor, Jonah Ayunga and Cole Stockton earned the Shrimps a 3-2 success at the Mazuma Stadium. That was only their second league victory since November.
With three of their next four coming on the road, Morecambe needed those points last time out. Although they are still bang in trouble, they have alleviated some of the pressure by winning two of the last four. Stephen Robinson’s boys will be desperate for a positive result from this one.
