Accrington Stanley hosted Doncaster Rovers in the English Carabao Cup second round at Wham Stadium. Doncaster Rovers secured a 2-0 victory, defying the AI's pre-game prediction which favored Accrington Stanley. Doncaster dominated possession with 64.8% and outshot Accrington 14 to 6. Owen Bailey opened the scoring in the 75th minute, followed by Ben Close in the 82nd. Accrington Stanley's Josh Woods received a red card in the 71st minute, further hampering their chances.
The game reflects Doncaster's recent form, as they have won 4 of their last 5 games, showcasing strong offensive capabilities. Accrington, in contrast, are struggling, with only 2 wins in their last 5 matches and difficulty scoring goals. Doncaster's higher team rate of 0.517 compared to Accrington's 0.419 also played a role.
Accrington's upcoming match against Shrewsbury Town looks challenging, given Shrewsbury's stronger team rate and Accrington's current form. Doncaster's next game against Rotherham United seems more balanced. Considering previous head-to-head games, Doncaster has had the upper hand, winning the majority of the recent encounters. Accrington struggled to maintain momentum after Woods' red card. This game continues a trend of Doncaster performing well against Accrington. Doncaster seem more capable of turning possession into goals than Accrington.
