This could be an interesting match as Fleetwood Town have their presumed home advantage while Peterborough United are ahead 7 points in the League One table.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Fleetwood Town and Peterborough United.

A strong away win for Fleetwood Town against Wycombe Wanderers the last match, as P. Madden were on target. In the game before, an away victory match versus AFC Wimbledon with a 2-1 scoreline.
C. Evans was on the receiving end of a red card in the Fleetwood Town-Wycombe Wanderers match, being sent off in the 69th minute. The game was drawn at that point, but the home side still managed to pull off a 1-0 victory.
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 eleven games.

Peterborough United are travelling after their nice 4-0 home win in the League One against Southend United (placed 22nd). That result followed a home victory 4-0 versus Oxford United.
