Fleetwood Town form and stats

With 3 League One wins, 5 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Fleetwood Town are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Jay Lynch not having conceded a league goal in 225 minutes.

An away draw last time out for Fleetwood Town, facing Plymouth Argyle in a game that ended 0-0. Nsiala was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.82 out of 10. The defender Nsiala hit one key pass and won 4 of 8 duels.

Ahead of that match, Fleetwood won a home game hosting Peterborough United (1-0).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Fleetwood Town have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 7 games) they have won 1 time, drawn 3 and lost 3.

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

Fleetwood Town have scored {14 league goals} here from 15 matches, not a lot. On the other hand, Fleetwood Town have conceded 17 goals.

Cambridge United form and stats

Cambridge United have only collected 8 points from their away games in the League One, after 2-2-11 (15 played).

Impressive finishing from Jones secured the home win 1-0 against Oxford United in their previous game. Hooray; their first three points in the league after eight matches not winning. Jones, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.52. Jones scored one goal and won 5 of 8 duels.

The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Cheltenham Town.

Cambridge are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats. From a total of 6 matches.

The schedule is very tough for Cambridge United now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A League One game at Exeter City is waiting in only four days.

The visitors have scored 11 goals from 15 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. The Cambridge manager Bonner has some worries about the defense as 32 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Cambridge United have pulled off a sequence of 4 consecutive games without losing (2-2-0) when playing Fleetwood Town.
