Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Saturday’s football game at the Wham Stadium pits together Accrington Stanley and Barrow, the two sides sitting in the opposite halves of the table. Accrington made a slow start to the season, but back-to-back wins over Morecambe and Gillingham helped them regain a much-needed confidence. Midfielder Seamus Conneely is unlikely to feature against Barrow after suffering an injury in the last league outing.
The Bluebirds, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing three of their last four league matches. As Barrow are eager to stay in the playoffs berth, both teams to score betting option should be considered this time out. In their last meeting in the League Two the two sides played out a 1-1 draw. Emile Acquah is pushing for a start, while there are no fresh injury worries in the away team.
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.
