Accrington Stanley host Cheltenham Town in League One this Saturday, with the hosts having just drawn 1-1 in their latest league match, while the visitors won 2-1 away to take the full three points. The two teams therefore come into this one in clearly different form. Accrington Stanley have not found a league win for several matches. Their defence is a clear problem, having conceded 14 goals in 8 matches, and over their last 10 matches they have allowed opponents an average of nearly 5 shots on target per game. Cheltenham Town, meanwhile, arrive with better numbers both in attack, with 16 goals in 8 matches, and in their unbeaten run of 5 matches, scoring in each of their last five and never losing by more than a single goal. This game is likely to see Cheltenham Town dominate more of the ball and wait for openings from an attack that has been producing consistently, but if Accrington Stanley score first on the back of home pressure, the game could flip into the hosts sitting deep and playing on the counter, which would make the pattern of play no longer go as expected.
