Fleetwood Town form and stats

There's been little loot from Fleetwood Town's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 6 away games in the League One. Fleetwood Town only have 1 win to counter their 3 defeats and 2 draws.

Home advantage was not enough for Fleetwood Town in their previous game as they lost hosting Wycombe Wanderers, 1-4. It's probably bad news for Fleetwood that their goalie Lynch made eight saves in the Wycombe Wanderers game, but still could not prevent a defeat.

Prior to that result Fleetwood Town won their away game at Cheltenham Town in the League One. The scoreline was 2-0.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 10 similar matches played by Fleetwood Town in our archives, and the results are: 4 wins for Fleetwood Town, 2 draws and 4 defeats.

Fleetwood have another fixture that requires travelling in just four nights, a League One game versus Port Vale. A demanding itinerary for the visiting team!

Fleetwood Town have conceded 8 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head
