Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Following a morale-boosting 1-0 win over Forest Green, Sutton will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Accrington on Matchday 40. The rock-bottom side are three points behind the safe zone, meaning that Saturday’s clash could be crucial for them in their battle for survival. With no fresh injury worries to report, Steve Morison is likely to field the same starting XI that defeated the Green Army in the relegation six-pointer.
Meanwhile, the Accy Stanley are stuck in the middle of the table with slim playoffs chances and that is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the home side. Talented midfielder Alex Henderson should sneak into Accrington’s starting XI following a couple of fine performances in the League Two. In the first half of the season Accrington crushed Sutton 4-1, meaning that Steve Morison’s men are hungry for revenge.
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.
