Fleetwood Town
- 18th-placed Fleetwood Town take on 15th-placed Bristol Rovers in a mid-table clash at Highbury Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
- The Cod Army are on a two-game losing streak in League Two 2026-2027 after away defeats to Exeter City FC and Cheltenham Town, however, their last three home games has been a much stronger 2-1-0.
- Fleetwood have won two of their last five league matches across all competitions and drawn one, losing two.
Bristol Rovers
- The Gas, on the other hand, are in a clear downturn after a run of one draw and four losses in all competitions and appear to be playing on the back foot of late.
- Bristol Rovers are winless in five, with one draw and four defeats.
- It's a good job that The Gas lost to Salford City last weekend, because Rovers were outplayed for the remainder of the game at the Memorial Stadium.
Head-to-Head
- The last time these two met was back in League Two 2025/2026 when Rovers won 1-0 at home, six months ago.
- With Fleetwood averaging 1.0 goal scored per game against Rovers at Highbury and the visitors also averaging 1.0 goal per game on their away games in 2026-2027, we predict that a tight, close and nervy game looks likely.
Key Players
- Fabrizio Cavegn is their best marksman with three in eight.
- Ronan Coughlan has chipped in with three of Fleetwood's last nine goals across the last five matches, so he will likely be their biggest threat to the Bristol Rovers goal on Saturday.
- Ellis Harrison has hit two of Rovers' last three goals in five matches, so the finishing responsibilities are also concentrated in one area for the visitors.
Betting Insights
- Matt Lawlor's 3-1-4-2 formation at Fleetwood Town is direct and designed to go vertical with wide attackers hitting runners in behind.
- The Cod Army press aggressively and play vertical, so they should be an awkward proposition for Rovers to play against as the game opens up.
- Steve Evans has installed a 4-3-3 system at Bristol Rovers that is all about high pressing, quick transitions and winning second balls.
- Evans' men are still the slight favorites at 2.46, but with Fleetwood available at 2.64 and the draw at 3.5, we think the odds on this one are skewed slightly in the away side's favour.
- A lack of goals is also anticipated, so Under 2.5 goals at 2.0 andBoth Teams To Score - No at 2.1 look a good way to make a tidy profit here.
Prediction
- We predict that a tight, close and nervy game looks likely.
- We're going to stay with the draw in the Double Chance market as Bristol Rovers are on a bad run and Fleetwood have been less than impressive themselves, however, the home side's form at Highbury should see them through this one.
- A lack of goals is also anticipated, so Under 2.5 goals and Both Teams To Score - No are the key markets to consider.
