Our prediction for this League 2 match:
The Wham Stadium will host Tuesday’s football game between Accrington and Swindon, the two teams who are eyeing a spot in the playoffs. The Accy Stanley do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team losing three of their last four league matches, but a win over Swindon will see them retain their spot in top seven. Even though there are no fresh injury concerns in the home team, Shaun Whalley could sneak into the starting XI.
The Robins, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Mansfield and they managed to get one, with the team putting an end to their six-game winless run in the League One. The Robins, though, have recorded only one win on the road this term, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the home team. A man to watch in the away side will be Jake Young, who scored a brace at the weekend.
Highlighted Team (Accrington):
Founded back in 1891 and reformed in 1968, Accrington Stanley are an English football club that compete in the League One. The original team competed in the Football League from 1921 to 1962, spending the last four seasons in Lancashire Combination.
The Accy are well known for their red home kit, whilst they wear sky blue shirts and white shorts when playing on the travels. The League One side play their home games at Crown Ground, the stadium which can hold up to 5,450 spectators (3,100 seated). Accrington have been playing at Crown Ground since 1970.
Listed as the all-time favourite player amongst fans, Chris Grimshaw is one of the most famous Accrington Stanley footballers. However, George Stewart is the team’s top scorer, netting 136 goals in total from 1954 to 1958. It has to be noted that the Accy have yet to represent England in European competitions.
