Fleetwood currently sit 13th in League Two and have had a hectic last few weeks with BTTS landing in each of their last five matches across all competitions. The most entertaining game in this sequence came last time out as Fleetwood contested a 3-3 draw with Port Vale in the EFL Trophy.

Fleetwood have only lost one of their seven home matches this season, so they should be able to offer some resistance to Swindon who sit 11 places above Fleetwood in the overall standings in League Two. Fleetwood have seen 26 goals across these matches (14 scored, 12 conceded - 3.71 per game) which again suggests that this should be a high scoring affair with goals at both ends, despite the gap that exists between these two sides in the league table.

Swindon have a pretty black and white away record in League Two so far, winning four and losing three of their seven matches. They’ve seen 23 goals across these games (3.28 per game) with a near equal split for goals scored and conceded (12-11). Swindon have seen BTTS in three of their last five matches across all competitions, and the slight drop off in form they see in their away matches should facilitate goals at both ends here.

Both sides enter this game having seen BTTS in four of their last five matches across all competitions. Both sides drew their most recent match 2-2 ahead of this clash, promising more goals in this encounter.

Only one point separates these sides in the League Two table with Grimsby sitting four points above Chesterfield with this advantage. This suggests that we should get quite an even contest here with both sides performing similarly across the opening few weeks of the campaign. Grimsby have netted 15 goals across their seven home games this term (2.14 per game) - only Chesterfield and Notts County (17) have scored more goals at home this term in League Two than Grimsby.

Chesterfield have struggled on the road in League Two so far this term with just two wins from their seven matches. However, these games have produced 25 goals (3.57 per game) with BTTS landing in five of these matches. The most recent head to head meeting between these sides took place in January and saw BTTS as the sides contested a 1-1 draw.

Ukraine fell to a 2-0 defeat in the most recent head to head clash between these sides in the early stages of qualifying. They were pretty unlucky not to score in that game with their eight shots returning an xG of 1.34, indicating that they should get a few chances to breach France’s backline here.

France conceded two goals in their most recent qualifying match as they drew 2-2 with Iceland and the squad that Didier Deschamps has picked for this international break, suggests to me that he will use these games as an opportunity to give fringe players a chance to breakout into the World Cup squad next summer. 

This doesn’t weaken France all that much as even their fringe players could start for most international teams, but it should offer Ukraine more opportunities than they would usually have in these sorts of games.

Ukraine have scored in all but one of their qualifying matches so far, totalling eight goals across their four matches which is just one fewer than France have managed during the qualifying campaign. Deschamps’ side are pretty comfortable in the group and may just relax slightly with a hectic festive period approaching for players with their club sides. 

Crewe have been one of the most entertaining sides in League Two this season and come into this contest with each of their last five matches across all competitions seeing BTTS. Crewe have managed to win three of these games, so they have some momentum to carry into this contest against an Oldham side that sit six points below Crewe in the table.

Crewe’s seven away matches have produced 20 goals (2.85 per game). They’ve conceded nine goals across these games, and their recent inability to keep a clean sheet would indicate that they come into this encounter a little vulnerable at the back. This can offer some confidence to Oldham who are looking to improve on their home record which has seen them win just one of their seven matches in front of their home fans.

Oldham have seen BTTS in three of their last five matches across all competitions. They come into this game having lost 6-2 to Bolton last time out in the EFL Trophy. They also saw BTTS in their most recent home game in League Two as they contested a 2-2 draw with Shrewsbury.
