Fleetwood Town

LLWWLL

Fleetwood Town will be hoping for a better result following a 1-0 League One defeat in their last game at the hands of Sheffield Wednesday.

Marvin Johnson (17') was the scorer for Sheffield Wednesday.

It’s been a rare occasion in recent games where Fleetwood Town have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that Fleetwood Town have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 8 goals on the way. Such a pattern isn’t assured to be sustained into this match, though.

Looking at their past form shows that Fleetwood Town:

• haven't lost in the league to Portsmouth in their previous 2 games.
• haven't beaten Portsmouth in their last 6 league games.
• are without a home win in the past 3 league games.

⚡ Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Fleetwood Town will have their work cut out to score against this Portsmouth team who we think might win and very possibly keep a clean sheet.

We’re therefore expecting a very competitive encounter with a 0-1 winning margin for Portsmouth when the referee blows for full-time.

Should be interesting.
