Fleetwood Town form and stats

5-5-3 (win-draw-lost) are the League One numbers at home for Fleetwood Town so far this season. Fleetwood have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

S. Finley was the last player to score a league goal for Fleetwood Town and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Fleetwood Town haven't scored in 367 minutes.

Fleetwood drew their last game, also a home match. Bristol Rovers (placed 20th) was the opponent, 0-0 the score. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Oxford United (0-1).

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Fleetwood have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 14 matches with the results: Won seven, drawn six and lost one.

There will be little rest for Fleetwood Town after this match as they are travelling to Plymouth Argyle for a League One game in only four days.

Fleetwood are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 13 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Fleetwood are not conceding a lot of goals here at Highbury Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 8 from 13 matches.

Doncaster Rovers form and stats

6-1-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Doncaster Rovers in their League One matches away. Impressively, the visitors are on a five-match winning run which they hope continue versus Fleetwood Town. Doncaster has been amazing away for a time now, winning four in a row on their travels. The last time they went home with a point loss was against Hull City.

Doncaster are travelling after their nice 3-2 home win in the League One against Oxford United (placed 11th). Ahead of that match was the victory versus Lincoln City at their stadium, the result 1-0.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Doncaster playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were one Doncaster Rovers win, one draw and four defeats.

Doncaster has another fixture away, a League One game, against Sunderland in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

Doncaster are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 16 times in 10 away games so far. As opposed to that, Doncaster have seen the ball go into their own net 10 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: four wins for Fleetwood, three draws and three wins for Doncaster Rovers. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.
