Our feeling is that Accrington Stanley could well find it tough to put one past this Fleetwood Town side who we reckon should score at least once to put them ahead.
We’re going for a very competitive encounter with a 1-0 winning margin for Fleetwood Town when the full-time whistle blows.
It should be a good one.
