Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Highbury Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Fleetwood and Gillingham, the two top-table sides. The Cod Army head into the match following a 2-2 draw with Notts County where they conceded the equalizer five minutes into the stoppage time. A man to watch in the home team will be Ryan Graydon, who scored the opener against the Magpies, while providing an assist for Brendan Wiredu. Meanwhile, the Gills aim to keep their 100% record in the 2024/2025 season intact.
Fleetwood, though, are tough to beat at home, which is probably the main reason why we are going to place our bets on draw. Gillingham midfielder George Lapslie is widely expected to return to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in the triumph over Morecambe at the weekend. In their last meeting in a competitive match (League One) the two sides played out a goalless draw.
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.
