Fleetwood Town form and stats

5 victories, 7 draws and 8 defeats. That’s what Fleetwood Town have to build on here at Highbury Stadium in the League One. Fleetwood are slowly digging their own grave here at Highbury Stadium with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Rotherham United match.

Fleetwood Town's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-2 versus Accrington Stanley (placed 14th). The defeat against Accrington Stanley was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored four minutes into stoppage time (by Nottingham).

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Lincoln City.

Fleetwood are traveling soon after this match as the League One match at Gillingham awaits in three days.

Fleetwood Town has scored 28 league goals at home this season, in 20 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Fleetwood defense is not exactly impregnable. 30 goals conceded from 20 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches. When Fleetwood Town hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Morecambe, Doncaster Rovers, AFC Wimbledon, Lincoln City, Gillingham, Burton Albion and Crewe Alexandra), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 4 of 6 times.

Oxford United form and stats

The visitors are W8-D4-L9 on the road this term. That's in the League One. Three has not been a lucky number for Oxford United as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Ipswich Town match.

The manager Robinson was unhappy after their last game, played at their home venue The Kassam Stadium. Oxford suffered a 1-2 loss to Sunderland (placed 6th).

A 1-2 defeat away at Morecambe before that.

A quick return to home after this game, as Oxford United are hosting Milton Keynes Dons in the League One only four days away.

Oxford United have scored 31 goals on their travels this season, from 21 away games in the league. 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 Oxford United in these games.
