Comparative Team Statistics: Fleetwood Town vs Accrington ST

Head-to-head

This fixture has a long history stretching back over a decade, and the scorelines have swung in both directions. More recently, though, Fleetwood have had the upper hand, winning the last two league meetings and drawing the one before that.

It's worth remembering some of these results come from cup ties rather than league football, and older meetings don't tell us much about either side's current level. Still, the recent trend favours the home side slightly.

League Two table

Both clubs sit on fourteen points from eleven games, with Accrington tenth and Fleetwood twelfth. There's barely anything between them on goal difference either, which fits with how close their broader form has looked.

Players to watch

C. Caton has been Accrington's main goal threat, with five goals in seven matches, so keeping tabs on his involvement will matter if the visitors are to turn draws into wins. For Fleetwood, C. Evans has supplied the creative spark with two assists in eight games.
