Our prediction for this League 1 match:
After sharing the spoils with Lincoln at LNER stadium, Stevenage will look to return to winning ways in the League One when they face Fleetwood on Saturday afternoon. The Boro are eyeing their fourth consecutive clean sheet and they are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence against the Cod Army. Jake Forster-Caskey suffered an injury at the weekend, with Harvey White likely to sneak into the starting XI.
Fleetwood Town, on the other hand, defeated Wigan Athletic 4-2 on Matchday 36 to put an end to their five-game winless run in the League One. Stevenage, though, have turned their LNER stadium into a real fortress and we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing something from the match. As for the away side, Ronan Coughlan is sidelined with injury, with Promise Omochere likely to replace him in the starting XI.
Highlighted Player (Jake Taylor):
Jake Taylor is a product of the Reading football academy who plays for Exeter City in the League Two. Taylor spent his youth career at Reading, and he continued wearing the blue and white shirt at senior level.
After scoring two goals in 31 appearances with the Royals in the league, the English footballer spent several seasons on loan at the likes of Aldershot Town, Exeter City, Cheltenham Town, Crawley Town, Leyton Orient, and Motherwell. In 2016 Jake Taylor returned to Exeter City, signing a permanent deal with the St James Park outfit.
Despite being born in Ascot, England, on December 1, 1991, Taylor represents Wales on the international stage. He has ten caps with the Wales U21 team, and he made his debut with the Dragons at the senior level in a 2-1 win over Cyprus on October 13, 2014. His primary position is central midfielder.
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.
