Fleetwood Town form and stats

Fleetwood Town have played 19 League One games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-7-7 (wins-draws-losses). Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Fleetwood, who played 1-1 against Lincoln City. That match was also played at this venue (Highbury Stadium). Midfielder Batty was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.61 (out of ten) in that game. Batty scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Crewe Alexandra and winning 3-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Fleetwood Town perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Fleetwood Town as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Fleetwood Town has won six of these, drawn four and lost three.

The Fleetwood Town fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 27 in 19 matches. More than 60 % of these goals (17 in all) were scored after at least one hour had been played. Fleetwood have conceded 28 in these home matches. 15 of these goals were conceded after the timer had passed 60 minutes (more than 50 %).

Accrington Stanley form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Accrington Stanley so far with only 13 points returning home. The records show 3-4-13 (win-draw-lose). With two straight losses from their last two away games, Accrington Stanley are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Accrington Stanley play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-3 to Wigan Athletic (placed 1st). Midfield player Butcher was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.11/10. Butcher hit two key passes.

A draw for Accrington before that, at their own venue hosting Cheltenham Town (4-4).

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Accrington Stanley playing away and similar expectations, we found twelve relevant matches. Results were four Accrington Stanley wins, four draws and four defeats.

The visitors have scored 13 goals from 20 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches.
