Stat Attack
- This is Accrington Stanley’s first-ever meeting against Bromley in all competitions.
- Bromley are visiting Accrington at Crown Ground for the first time in a competitive fixture.
- Ben Woods has been booked in two of Accrington’s last three home games.
- Bromley have kept three clean sheets on the road this season.
Prediction
With nine goals conceded in their last three games and an awful defensive performance at Grimsby, Accrington need to produce a reaction here if don’t want to get sucked into the relegation scrap but their home form is a huge positive.
Bromley meanwhile produced a clinical yet gutsy display to beat Gillingham especially with solid late defending, which has often been their Achilles heel at times this season but they need to try and find more clean sheets and consistent wins.
Accrington though won’t make it easy on their own turf where they’ve been more solid but if Bromley can again bring the quality and grit, they could grind out a win.
Prediction: Accrington Stanley 0-1 Bromley
Result: Accrington Stanley 1-2 Bromley
