Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Following a 3-1 loss to Port Vale, Fleetwood Town will be aiming to return to winning ways when they face Crewe in the League Two round 13. The Cod Army are undefeated at home ground, but it has to be noted that they have drawn each of their last three home fixtures. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the home team, Mark Helm should sneak into the starting XI.
The Railwaymen, on the other hand, are only one point behind the playoffs berth. Crewe Alexandra head into the midweek clash following back-to-back draws with Doncaster and Salford and seeing that Fleetwood are tough to beat at home, yet another share of spoils is on the cards. You should bear in mind that under 2.5 goals have been netted in six of the previous eight meetings between the two sides in all competitions.
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.
