Week 12 brings us a match on Dec 4th, where Accrington Stanley will play host to Fleetwood Town in a meeting of these two mismatched League One teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cold day, and temperatures reaching a maximum of only 3 degrees, making for an unpleasant day. 14th placed Accrington Stanley is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against Lincoln City. Colby Bishop scored the first goal for Accrington Stanley in the 55th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring At the end of 90 a dissapointed Lincoln City couldn’t manage to score, and Accrington Stanley took the shutout win. Accrington Stanley is looking for direction having earned 11 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 22nd placed Fleetwood Town, recorded a 2-2 draw against AFC Wimbledon. Gerard Garner scored the first goal for Fleetwood Town in the 35th minute, then Ayoub Assal tied it up for AFC Wimbledon in the 53rd minute on a feed from Luke McCormick . They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 6 of their last 10.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Accrington Stanley won the head to head battle with 1 win.
Fleetwood Town’s top weapon lately has been Callum Johnson, who has 2 goals in the last five matches. Ethan Hamilton and Tommy Leigh are the top scorers for Accrington Stanley in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
