Win for Fleetwood
The Fleetwood outfit are looking at the possibility of a second consecutive league victory for only the second game so far this season.

This may relieve some pressure off the home team, but Fleetwood have been playing quite well through players like Jack Marriott and Jayden Stockley.

Predicted Line-Up:
Doohan, Robson, Cooper, Godwin-Malife, Casey, McGeouch, McAllister, Garrick, Savage, Bunker, Omotoye

Predicted Line-Up:
Lynch, Rooney, Earl, Vela, Omochere, Robertson, Sarpong-Wiredu, Johnston, Stockley, Marriott, Patterson
