Saturday 3rd January 2015 - Kickoff: 1500hrs
FLEETWOOD TOWN
Fleetwood Town ended a run of five matches without a win in League One when they recently beat Rochdale 2-0 away at Spotland which maintained their mid-table league position.
They now return to their Highbury Stadium for today’s clash against high-flying Swindon Town where they hold an overall home record of 4-5-2 12/10 but it should be noted that they’ve now gone their last three matches on home turf without a win.
Indeed, the Cod Army have taken just one point from the last three at Highbury as they’ve lost to Walsall and Bradford City while gaining just a point in a 1-1 draw with Sheffield United.
Fleetwood forwards Dobbie and Proctor (4 goals apiece) look the most likely anytime goalscorers for the hosts.
SWINDON TOWN
Visitors Swindon Town make their way up north on the back of seven wins from their last eight league matches as they look to consolidate their automatic promotion spot tonight.
Recent notable wins include triumphs over Bristol City, Preston North End and Peterborough United along with the earlier home win over today’s opponents in the corresponding home fixture which The Robins won 1-0.
Swindon also hold a very steady record on the road too with overall stats of 7-2-2 23/10 and they’ve won their last three on their travels on the trot with wins at Peterborough United, Notts County and Walsall and The Robins have failed to score just once away from home all season so far.
The attacking trio of Williams (14 goals), Smith (10 goals) and Obika (6 goals) look the most likely to threaten the back of the Fleetwood Town net today.
THE BETTING VERDICT:
Fleetwood have been struggling for consistency recently while Swindon have performed well on the road this season. I’ll therefore back the visitors with the round ball here at good odds. Could be perhaps a 2-1 win for Swindon.
The Pick :
Fleetwood Town 1 Swindon Town 2
