The League One season is still fresh and sports bettors should be cautious. This meeting between Lincoln City and Fleetwood Town promises to be an interesting one.

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Carabao Cup. Thankfully the previous game, versus Everton, was also a home game here at Sincil Bank Stadium. The away team is better rested.

Lincoln City form and stats

Perfect League One season at home so far for Lincoln City, as mentioned below. 2 wins from 2 appearances. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Lincoln City to get some points in this home game.

The Lincoln City fans got no joy from their last match, a Carabao Cup game also here at Sincil Bank Stadium: A 2-4 defeat against Everton. A League One defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Doncaster Rovers.

This is expected to be a close game, with Lincoln City perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Lincoln City as a small favourite), we find five games. Lincoln City has won 1 of these, drawn 3 and lost 1.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Lincoln City as they are travelling to their away game against Doncaster Rovers in the EFL Trophy. That match is three days after this one.

Early season league goal statistics from Lincoln City's 2 home games: 6 goals, 0 conceded.

Fleetwood Town form and stats

Fleetwood Town are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the League One, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss). Fleetwood Town seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

The supporters enjoyed Fleetwood Town's previous game versus Accrington Stanley, a League One 2-0 win played at home. A draw for Fleetwood Town before that, at their own venue hosting Wycombe Wanderers (1-1).

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 16 similar matches played by Fleetwood Town in our archives, and the results are: 8 wins for Fleetwood Town, 2 draws and 6 defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Fleetwood Town now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A EFL Trophy game at Accrington Stanley is waiting in only three days.

Fleetwood Town have the goal stats of 5-4 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head
