Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Fleetwood will be aiming to put an end to their seven-game winless run in all competitions when they face Carlisle United on Tuesday afternoon. The Cod Army did well to hold league leaders Portsmouth to a draw and they are now on a quest to return to winning ways in the League One. Fleetwood have a chance to escape the relegation zone and we are positive that they will leave their hearts on the field.
Barring any fresh injury worries, Lee Johnson is unlikely to make changes to the team that shared the spoils with the Pompey. The Cumbrians, on the other hand, are eyeing their first league win since October 24, 2023, but given their shaky defence, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. There are no injury worries in the visiting team ahead of the Boxing Day encounter.
Highlighted Team (Fleetwood):
Known for their attacking style of play, Fleetwood Town are a professional football club based in Fletwood, Lancashire. The Fishermen play their home matches at Highbury Stadium, the venue with the capacity of 5,327 (2,672 seated), with the team wearing red and white shirts in home matches.
On the other hand, Fleetwood footballers are dressed in yellow when playing on the travels. The original club was founded back in 1908 under the name of Fleetwood FC and 69 years later they were re-established as Fleetwood Town F.C. In 1998 the club was renamed to Fleetwood Wanderers after the second reformation.
Legendary England footballer Joey Barton is considered one of the club’s most notable coaches. Barton, who was known for his incidents on the field, has been in charge since June 2, 2018. Neighbouring club Blackpool are regarded as one of Fleetwood’s main rivals. The Fishermen have built up rivalries with Morecambe and Preston North End as well.
