Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Fleetwood play host to Accrington at their Highbury Stadium in the closing match of League Two round 20. The Cod Army aim to recover from back-to-back losses to Doncaster and Swindon and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Accy Stanley. As Liam Shaw suffered an injury in the last league match, Finley Potter is widely expected to sneak into the starting XI.
Accrington Stanley, on the other hand, have been struggling at the back of late and seeing that over 2.5 goals have been netted in each of their last six games in all competitions, a high-scoring affair is on the cards. You should bear in mind that Fleetwood recorded a thrilling 5-2 win over Accrington in their last meeting in the English fourth tier. Republic of Ireland defender Connor O’Brien is widely expected to return to Accrington’s starting XI.
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.
