Fleetwood Town have performed better than Blackpool so far this season, but every game starts at 0-0. Here's all you need to know about the upcoming game:

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a League One match only four days ago. That game was an away game at Ipswich Town, so at least Fleetwood Town are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Fleetwood Town form and stats

Fleetwood Town have performed here at Highbury Stadium this season with 10 wins from 17 League One matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 6 games and lost 1. The Fleetwood Town fans aren't used to losing league-games here at Highbury Stadium and will expect new points from this game. Fleetwood Town has played eleven games in a row here without a defeat. Fleetwood Town has a nice streak going on as they have played ten consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Burton Albion defeat 56 days ago.

Happy days for Fleetwood Town in their previous game, a League One match away at Ipswich Town (placed 9th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. 1-1 away at Sunderland before that.

The victory against Ipswich Town came after Ched Evans's winning goal. The Fleetwood Town manager J. Barton was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 16th minute.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Fleetwood Town handle that role? We have found nine games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are three wins, five draws and one defeat.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Fleetwood Town as they are travelling to their away game against Portsmouth in the League One. That match is three days after this one.

The Fleetwood Town fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 25 in 17 matches. From these home matches, Fleetwood Town have conceded only 13 goals.

Blackpool form and stats

Blackpool have only collected 15 points from their away games in the League One, after 2-9-6 (17 played). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in twelve away games in a row.

Blackpool are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the League One against Ipswich Town (placed 9th). A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Bolton Wanderers.

Goalkeeper Chris Maxwell was absolutely vital in the Blackpool victory against Ipswich Town, making six saves. Joe Nuttall came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Ipswich Town last time out, making the manager D. Dunn feel like a tactical genius. The end of the last match, against Ipswich Town, was very satisfying as Joe Nuttall scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

Blackpool are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, five draws and two defeats. From a total of seven matches.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Tranmere Rovers in just three days.

Blackpool are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 17 away goals from 17 games (in the league). As opposed to that, Blackpool have seen the ball go into their own net 20 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Blackpool - Fleetwood Town 3-1 earlier this season. Head-2-head stats last seven meetings: one - two - four (Fleetwood Town wins - draws - Blackpool wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.
