The Black Cats have been good defensively at home, conceding only an average of 0.87 goals per game. Sunderland have scored in every single league game played this season.

Accrington News and Form

Stanley are sat in 16th place going into this game but they are only three points above the drop zone. They aren’t carrying much form with them at the moment either. Accrington have taken just the two points from their last six League One games. Away from home, they have earned only a D1 L3 record in their last four.

Another big trend with them is that they have failed to score in any of their last six league fixtures. Accrington have produced a W5 D4 L7 record on their travels this season in League One. Only one of those five victories were at a side who are currently in the top half of the table. In total Stanley have only come up with 14 goals in 16 away games. They have been level at the halftime break in nine of those away games. Only bottom side Wimbledon have produced fewer league goals in the division than Accrington have.
