The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Fleetwood Town are in the 12th position while the guesting Shrewsbury Town worry at 20th.
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 Shrewsbury Town.
Fleetwood Town form and stats
Fleetwood Town have played 4 League One games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-1-1 (wins-draws-losses).
Fleetwood enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Gillingham's place. The match ended 2-0 with Paddy Madden and Ched Evans scoring. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Accrington Stanley.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Fleetwood have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found twelve games) they have won four times, drawn six and lost two.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Fleetwood as they have a new game in only four days, a League One match thankfully also at home. Oxford United are visiting.
A decent goal production from Fleetwood in their home games so far, with 6 goals from 4 league matches. Fleetwood are not conceding a lot of goals here at Highbury Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 3 from 4 matches.
Shrewsbury Town form and stats
Things could have gone better for Shrewsbury Town in their League One away matches, but 5 points from 3 games is all right.
The manager S. Ricketts was unhappy after their last game, a League One match played at their home ground Montgomery Waters Meadow. Shrewsbury suffered a 1-2 loss to Rochdale (placed 15th). A 0-1 loss hosting Bristol Rovers before that.
We have checked recent matches where Shrewsbury Town have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those nine games were one victory, four draws and four defeats.
Shrewsbury Town has another fixture away, a League One game, against Peterborough United in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
The attacking power of Shrewsbury when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. Shrewsbury are tight as a drum on their travels, having allowed the opposition only 1 goal away.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Fleetwood Town five wins, three draws and Shrewsbury Town two victories. As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
