Accrington Stanley secured a 2-1 home win over Cheltenham Town in League Two on 3 October 2026. The victory lifts the club to 19th place in the table, giving them a vital seven points from their opening eight games.
The three points provide a key buffer above the relegation places. It marks a positive step for a side whose recent form reads one win, three draws and one defeat from their last five outings.
This result continues a more encouraging spell. It follows a 2-1 victory over Barnet and a 3-2 win against Crawley Town earlier in the month, showing a capacity to grind out results. The team's recent fixtures have been a mix of tight contests, including draws with Swindon Town, Notts County and Grimsby Town.
