Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Fleetwood
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-2
Oxford United
Highbury Stadium will host Saturday’s League One game between Fleetwood Town and Oxford United. The Cod Army do not seem to be competitive at this level, with the team collecting only one point in total in the process and it is no wonder the bookies see them as the underdogs in this match. Given their shaky defence, we do not believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side.
The Yellows, on the other hand, failed to extend their winning run to five games against Port Vale, with the team suffering their second defeat of the season. Oxford are eyeing their third consecutive win on the road and we predict that they will take advantage of the current situation in Fleetwood’s dressing room. Keep in mind, though, that both Mark Harris and Greg Leigh are banned for the match, speaking of the visiting team.
