Fleetwood Town form and stats

5-7-9 (win-draw-lost) are the League One numbers at home for Fleetwood Town so far this season. Fleetwood are slowly digging their own grave here at Highbury Stadium with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in eight attempts. The last victory here came in the Rotherham United match.

An away draw last time out for Fleetwood Town, facing Gillingham in a game that ended 0-0. Fleetwood Town's goalie Cairns played a big part in securing a draw after 90 minutes against Gillingham with a stunning six saves. The goalie Cairns was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 8.44 out of ten. Cairns topped it up with a clean sheet.

Preceding that match was the home game against Oxford United that was lost 2-3.

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 as a small favourite), we find twelve games. Fleetwood Town has won six of these, drawn three and lost three.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Fleetwood Town as they have a new game in only three days, a League One match thankfully also at home. Sheffield Wednesday are visiting.

Fleetwood Town has scored 30 league goals at home this season, in 21 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Fleetwood defense is not exactly impregnable. 33 goals conceded from 21 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

AFC Wimbledon form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for AFC Wimbledon so far with only 16 points returning home. The records show 4-4-14 (win-draw-lose). AFC Wimbledon are desperate to end a 25-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Accrington Stanley fixture.

There were no winners in AFC Wimbledon's previous match, the home game that ended 1-1 vs Wycombe Wanderers (placed 5th). Midfielder Rudoni was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.4. Rudoni scored one goal.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Crewe Alexandra wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Wimbledon playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were five AFC Wimbledon wins, two draws and three defeats.

The attacking power of AFC Wimbledon when travelling is not overwhelming with 21 goals scored from 22 league matches away. In the opposite end, AFC Wimbledon have conceded 40 goals in their away games.
