Fleetwood Town form and stats

7-7-3 (win-draw-lost) are the League One numbers at home for Fleetwood Town so far this season.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Fleetwood, as their goalkeeper Alex Cairns has completely shut out the opponents for 289 minutes in the League One.

Fleetwood Town drew their last game, 0-0 away at Blackpool (placed 12th). Ahead of that match, Fleetwood won a home game hosting Gillingham (1-0).

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 16 games. Fleetwood has won eight of these, drawn seven and lost one.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the League One game versus Swindon Town in only four days. This game is also played here at Highbury Stadium.

Fleetwood are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 22 goals in 17 games. From these home matches, Fleetwood have conceded only 11 goals.

Ipswich Town form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their League One travels is 6 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats.

Ipswich won their last game, 1-0 versus Plymouth Argyle played at home. Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Lincoln City.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 15 similar matches played by Ipswich Town in our archives, and the results are: four wins for Ipswich, four draws and seven defeats.

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

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Ipswich Town have scored 18 goals in 14 league games away. 17 goals have been conceded by Ipswich in these games.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last two meetings: one - zero - one (Fleetwood wins - draws - Ipswich Town wins). As for goals, zero matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two had two or less.
