Fleetwood Town form and stats

5-3-3 (win-draw-lost) are the League One numbers at home for Fleetwood Town so far this season.

Fleetwood Town shared the glory with Wigan Athletic in their last match, an away game that ended all square 0-0. A defeat was the result before that one, 1-3 away at Milton Keynes Dons.

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

The Fleetwood fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 11 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Fleetwood have only conceded 8 from their league home games.

Northampton Town form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Northampton Town, who have the fewest scored goals (20) in League One, so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 3-1-6 (win-draw-lose). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Northampton Town's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Northampton are travelling again after losing away to Lincoln City in their previous match (1-2). A 0-2 loss hosting Milton Keynes Dons before that.

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

Northampton Town have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 10 league away games 12 goals have been scored. The Northampton manager K. Curle has some worries about the defense as 21 goals have been conceded in these travels.

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's five Fleetwood Town victories, one draw and four Northampton Town wins.
