Recent respective form guides

Accrington Stanley's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While The Reds have scored 7, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Wrexham's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Dragons have hit 4 goals, 8 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Accrington S.'s 12 points from 9 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th position. Wrexham are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League Two with a return of just 6 points from their 8 games thus far.
