Fleetwood Town form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the League One this season. Fleetwood Town have only managed 2 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses from their games here at Highbury Stadium. Game days at Highbury Stadium have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Fleetwood Town as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

In their previous game, the manager Brown led his Fleetwood Town to a defeat away at Sheffield Wednesday. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Highbury Stadium. Defender Nsiala got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.4/10. Nsiala won 10 of 12 duels.

Ahead of that match, Fleetwood lost 1-2 at home to Oxford United.

Sports gamblers, take note: A review of the 10 most recent league games reveals that 8 of them had goals from both teams.

The manager Brown will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Sheffield Wednesday in only four days.

Portsmouth form and stats

As the visiting team in League One matches, Portsmouth have produced an overall stat of 4-3-4 so far.

Portsmouth won their last game, 2-0 versus Exeter City played at home. That win was so crucial for this team, after a terrible sequence of ten league rounds in a row not winning. Midfielder Pack was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.44. Pack scored one goal, served one assist, hit one key pass and had 35 successful passes (of 37 total).

Prior to that match, the Portsmouth manager Bassey faced defeat when travelling to Bolton Wanderers and losing 0-3.

Lacking goals? 9 of this club's most recent 12 league rounds have seen two goals or less.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Portsmouth manager Bassey as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Peterborough United.

Portsmouth are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 12 away goals from 11 games (in the league). It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Portsmouth have conceded 15 goals in these away matches.
