Accrington ST prepare to host promotion-chasing Cheltenham Town in a League Two clash at The Wham Stadium this Saturday. The match kicks off at 3pm local time, with the visitors arriving in second place while Accrington sit 19th in the table.
John Coleman's side have seven points from their opening eight games, a run that includes just one win. Their recent form shows a pattern of draws, with a 1-1 result at Swindon Town last weekend following stalemates against Sunderland U21 and Newport County. Josh Woods opened the scoring in that Swindon draw, assisted by Stefan Mols, but the lead was cancelled out before half-time. You can review the team's full fixtures and standings for more context on the season so far.
Cheltenham Town present a formidable challenge, having lost only once this campaign. They come into this fixture off the back of a 2-1 victory over Chesterfield last Saturday. Their last five outings have yielded two wins and three draws. Manager Michael Duff has built a resilient side that has scored 11 goals but also conceded 14.
The last starting line-up, deployed in a 3-4-1-2 formation against Swindon, featured Louie Moulden in goal behind a back three of Dan Matthews, Seamus Conneely and Jayden Anderson. The midfield quartet of Cameron O'Brien, Donald Love, Liam Coyle and David Tutonda supported attackers Stefan Mols, Josh Woods and Tyler Walton. Squad availability for the weekend will be confirmed closer to kick-off, and the latest squad information is always available.
Accrington ST will look to build on their solid home performance against Crawley Town earlier in September as they aim to upset the league's form team. The match at The Wham Stadium is scheduled for Saturday, October 3.
