Match begins: 18:45 (UTC)
Venue: Highbury Stadium (5500 seats)

Fleetwood Town will pray that their home advantage is enough to get a result from this rough encounter, against lively Sheffield Wednesday.

Insights:
  • Fleetwood Town have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Sheffield Wednesday have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

Relegation threatens Fleetwood who should definitely be looking for some points here. Sheffield Wednesday are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

It's no vacation for neither Fleetwood Town nor Sheffield Wednesday as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Fleetwood Town form and stats

The story so far in the League One for Fleetwood Town at their home stadium (Highbury Stadium) is 5 wins, 8 draws and 9 defeats. With nine home League One games in a row without a win, the Fleetwood Town fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Rotherham United game long ago, can be stopped today.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Fleetwood Town, who played 1-1 against AFC Wimbledon. That match was also played at this venue (Highbury Stadium). The hometeam coach Crainey made a successful contribution in the game against AFC Wimbledon, bringing on Garner who scored the equalizer in the 1-1 draw. Midfield player Pilkington got a match rating of 7.11 in that game, the max score being 10. Pilkington served one assist, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 3 of 6 times and had 26 successful passes (of 28 total).

A 0-0 draw away before that, with Gillingham the opponent.

Fleetwood are traveling soon after this match as the League One match at Bolton Wanderers awaits in four days.

The Fleetwood Town fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 31 in 22 matches. Fleetwood Town have conceded 34 from these games. When Fleetwood Town hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Morecambe, Doncaster Rovers, AFC Wimbledon, Lincoln City, Gillingham, Crewe Alexandra and Shrewsbury Town), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 5 of 7 times.

After this away game Sheffield Wednesday return home for a League One game against Portsmouth. That game is only four sleeps after this.
