Fleetwood vs Accrington prediction 16.12.2024 | League Two

• Competition: League Two
• Date: Monday, 16th December, 2024
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
• Venue: Highbury Stadium (Fleetwood)

After ten seasons spent in League One, Fleetwood suffered a relegation last year. This year, "The Fishermen" are not playing according to expectations, considering they sit in 16th place with 22 points in 17 rounds. They are already eight points away from the Playoffs, and the situation isn't looking too promising as they are in terrible form and have won just once in the last eight League Two rounds.

Accrington were relegated from League One in the 2022/23 season and had a poor one last year, finishing 17th. This year, "The Owd Reds" had an atrocious two-month-start and spent most of their time in the relegation zone. However, they went on a solid run and moved up on the league's table. Right now, they are in 20th place with just four points away from the danger zone, but with one game played less. Unfortunately for them, they are once again in poor form and are hoping to turn things around once again against another out-of-form team.

Fleetwood vs Accrington pick: Both teams to score

Fleetwood are in terrible form, winning just one point in the last four matches. Still, regardless of the results, they are scoring regularly and have scored at least one goal in three out of those four matches. On the other hand, we definitely do not trust their defense to keep a clean sheet after receiving seven goals in the last two matches against Swindon and Doncaster.

Accrington are one of the best teams in the league for this type of bet, as 72% of their league games finished with both teams scoring. Only Bradford City and Cheltenham had more games with btts. Their defense has been atrocious lately as well, allowing seven goals in the previous two matches, just like Fletwood's. Moreover, they allowed at least two goals in the last five games in all competitions.

In the previous h2h game, we saw a 5:2 win for Fleetwood. Considering both team's terrible defensive performances and all the above, we believe that both teams to score bet is the safest option for this League Two match.
