Only Carlos Mendes Gomes (28′) was listed as a scorer for Fleetwood Town. For Exeter City, goals were scored by Sam Nombe (93′) and Jay Stansfield (30′). Recently, Fleetwood Town hasn’t kept a clean sheet all that often. The truth is that Fleetwood Town’s defence has been breached in 5 of their last 6 games, allowing 7 goals in the process.

The numbers speak the tale; Forest Green Rovers have allowed 11 goals in their previous six games after being scored against in 5 of those contests. Forest Green Rovers have obviously had some issues on defence. We’ll just have to wait and see if that tendency can carry over into this game.

Prediction

Our impression is that Forest Green Rovers can score against Fleetwood Town, but it is unlikely that it will be sufficient to prevent a defeat. 

By the time the referee blows the final whistle, we anticipate a close game to end with a 2-1 victory for Fleetwood Town. Let’s wait and see what happens.

Match news

• However, there is hope that Renan Lodi will be available after suffering an ankle strain, which might cause Serge Aurier to withdraw and Neco Williams to go into his preferred right-back position.
• This week, Jesse Lingard’s spot in the starting lineup is unquestionably in jeopardy as Emmanuel Dennis or Taiwo Awoniyi, a young ex-Liverpool player, vie for a spot in the attacking line.
