Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Fleetwood Town and Burton Albion square off against each other at Highbury Stadium on the last day of the regular season. The Cod Army failed to secure the League One survival, but their pride will be at stake in Saturday’s encounter. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the home team, both Tom Lonergan and Ronan Coughlan are pushing for recalls to the starting XI.
The Brewers, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-2 win over Reading and seeing that Fleetwood footballers are low on confidence ahead of the decider, away win should be considered. Both Joe Powell and Mason Bennett limped off with injuries in a 3-2 win over Reading, with the likes of Ciaran Gilligan and Adedeji Oshilaja pushing for recalls to the starting XI. Martin Paterson should stick to the 4-2-3-1 formation.
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.
