Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Saturday’s football game at the Wham Stadium pits together Accrington and Port Vale, the two sides with entirely different ambitions for the 2024/2025 League Two campaign. Accrington have yet to record a win in the new season and, no doubt, they are likely to leave their hearts on the field this time out. The good news for the hosts is that forward Kelsey Mooney has overcome his injury.
Meanwhile, the Valiants aim to climb to the playoffs berth and they must be brimming with confidence following back-to-back wins over Newport County and Chesterfield. Jesse Debrah is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the last league match, with fellow defender being ready to step up. Anyhow, away win should be considered as Port Vale attackers are capable of making life difficult for Accrington Town’s shaky defence in Saturday's showdown.
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.
