Fleetwood Town form and stats

Fleetwood Town have played 18 League One games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-6-7 (wins-draws-losses). When Fleetwood Town hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Morecambe, Doncaster Rovers, AFC Wimbledon, Gillingham, Burton Albion, Crewe Alexandra and Fleetwood Town), they have won 2 of 5 matches!

It's back home for Fleetwood, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Crewe Alexandra away with the result 3-1. Pilkington, Macadam and Harrison found the net in that victory. Camps (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.81/10. Camps hit two key passes.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Doncaster Rovers.

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 twelve games. Fleetwood Town has won six of these, drawn three and lost three.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Accrington Stanley are coming to town in four days.

Fleetwood Town are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 26 goals in 18 games. More than 65 percent of these goals (17 in total) were scored after at least one hour had been played. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Fleetwood defense is not exactly impregnable. 27 goals conceded from 18 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above. 14 of these goals were let in after the timer had passed 60 minutes (more than 50 %).

Lincoln City form and stats

7 wins, 4 draws and 9 losses. That’s the product of Lincoln City playing as the away team in the League One this season.

Two away games in a row for Lincoln City, whose manager Appleton could celebrate last time after the win against Charlton Athletic. McGrandles got a match rating of 8.12 in that game, top player of the team. McGrandles hit one key pass.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Shrewsbury Town wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

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

A new game in only four days for Lincoln City, the League One home match versus Wigan Athletic. Busy days.

Lincoln City have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 20 league away games 26 goals have been scored. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 28 goals have been conceded by Lincoln in these games.
