Fleetwood Town – Statistics & Current Form

Football on a professional level has only existed in Fleetwood since 2012, the club has been playing third-rate since 2013/14 and was able to establish itself in League One. Twice the club failed only in the play-offs on their first promotion to the championship.

“Bad-Boy” Joey Barton is the head coach

The most well-known personnel at the club from the city of almost 30,000 people sits on the coaching bench – Joey Barton. The 38-year-old will be a household name for football fans, after all, during his playing days he wrote several headlines that were not only of a sporting nature.

The station in Fleetwood is his first coaching station and here, too, he has already delivered one or the other scandal. For example, last season he was violent in the player tunnel against Daniel Stendel (the then head coach of Barnsley).

Only missed promotion in the play-offs

In terms of sport, however, there is not much reason for criticism, because the results can be seen in his first position as head coach. The canceled 2019/20 season ended Fleetwood in fifth place after 35 match days and only missed direct promotion by two points. In the play-offs came the clear end against the Wycombe Wanderers (3: 6 total score).

Above all, the home strength was impressive, as only two of the 19 home games were lost. The club celebrated success in its first home game this season as well. The home strength gives the underdog hope and is an argument that can be used between Fleetwood Town and Everton for the prediction of a surprise.

➤ Cairns – Andrew, Hill, Stubbs, Burns – Whelan, Coutts – Duffy, Camps, Morris – Evans

Everton – Statistics & Current Form

Fans of the Toffees will probably frame the current table of the English Premier League. Carlo Ancelotti’s team got off to a furious start into the new season and after two matchdays they are in second place with a maximum of six points. Thanks to the goal difference of +4, the club even ranked ahead of local rivals Liverpool.

Offensive convinced against the newcomer

After the surprising opening win at the home-strong Tottenham Hotspurs, Everton lived up to the role of favorite in the home game against newly-promoted West Bromwich, benefiting from an assault by Kieran Gibbs. The outstanding player was once again Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who now holds four goals this season.

In addition to the homegrown, the new midfield trio around James Rodriguez, Allan, and Abdoulaye Doucoure immediately convinced. For the first time in a long time, Everton seems to be able to meet its high expectations.

Sovereign 3-0 against Salford in the first EFL match

The Toffees were already in action in the EFL Cup last week and had no problems against fourth division Salford (League Two). Michael Keane, Gylfi Sigurdsson, and Moise Kean scored the goals in the 3-0 win. A look at the goalscorers shows that there were also some well-known players in the squad.

Ancelotti rotated, but except goalkeeper Joao Virginia, left-back Nkounkou, and center-back Branthwaite, there were players on the pitch who have already underlined their Premier League quality several times. A similar team can also be expected on Wednesday and with this line-up between Fleetwood Town and Everton the tip for the guests is obvious.

The probable lineup of Everton:
➤ Virginia – Nkounkou, Branthwaite, Keane, Kenny – Davies, Delph – Gordon, Bernard, Walcott – Kean

🔺 The first meeting of both teams
🔺 Everton in early form – two games, six wins for the Ancelotti team in the league

Everton already had an extremely powerful team against Salford, and there will be something similar in Fleetwood. Especially since the Toffees have an extremely broad squad and players like Moise Kean, Bernard, or Theo Walcott rarely get their chances.

Some automatisms may not work yet, but between Fleetwood Town and Everton, the prediction of an Everton win with at least two goals difference seems extremely lucrative.
