Our prediction for this League 2 match:
The Wham Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Accrington and Colchester, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. The Accy Stanley look unstoppable at the moment, with the team eyeing their fifth consecutive league win and they must be high on confidence following a 4-2 win at AFC Wimbledon. Barring any fresh injury worries, head coach John Coleman is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Dons on Tuesday evening.
The U’s, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Grimsby and they managed to get one, with the team putting an end to their four-match losing run. Colchester United proved their worth in the midweek triumph, but given Accrington’s excellent form, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the home side.
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.
