On Tuesday evening, Fleetwood Town will look to turn some of their recent draws into wins in their bid to avoid relegation when they face league leaders MK Dons at Highbury Stadium with kickoff at 10:45 pm.
The recent good results continued for MK Dons, who won their third game in a row at the weekend. Fleetwood Town drew for a third consecutive game, meanwhile.
On Saturday, Fleetwood Town’s 1-1 draw with Shrewsbury Town at fellow strugglers Shrewsbury Town was their third in a row.
Anthony Pilkington scored the opener midway through a solid first half from their side, but they were pegged back immediately after halftime through Luke Leahy’s penalty for their hosts.
As mentioned above, the draw was the third in a row for the Cod Army, but it does also mean that Town have lost just one of their last six matches in their quest to avoid the drop out of League One.
Meanwhile, MK Don is just outside the playoff spots in third place. Sunderland’s upset defeat to Doncaster Rovers and Liam Manning’s side edging out Lincoln City 2-1 at home moved MK Dons into second place.
However, Wigan Athletic’s involvement in the FA Cup meant that MK Dons could cut the gap between themselves and the Latics by one point, although Wigan Athletic now has four games in hand.
