Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Fleetwood will be aiming to put an end to their five-game winless run when they take on Chesterfield Town in the League Two round 22. The Cod Army suffered a dip in form, with the team dropping to 18th place in the standings and, no doubt, they are desperate to grab something from the Boxing Day clash. Midfielder Liam Shaw is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Spireites, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run in the League Two. Chesterfield aim to climb to the automatic promotion berth and we predict that they will take advantage of Fleetwood’s shaky defence. Ryan Colcough was forced to leave the pitch before the half-time break in a 1-0 win over AFC Wimbledon, with James Berry-McNally likely to step up.
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.
