Cheltenham Town form and stats

Cheltenham Town have played 16 League One games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-3-7 (wins-draws-losses).

Cheltenham's last game was hosting Fleetwood Town (placed 14th) and winning 1-0. Finally, a league win after three fixtures without. The talented striker May bested all the other footballers in that fixture and was awarded a match rating of 7.7 out of 10. May scored one goal, hit four key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Derby County (0-2).

The manager Elliott will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Peterborough United in only four days.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Cheltenham Town here at Jonny-Rocks Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (14 from 16 games). It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Cheltenham Town's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 20 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Lincoln City form and stats

The visitors are W5-D4-L7 on the road this term. That's in the League One. Visiting Lincoln has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.

Lincoln City had fun at their own home (Jonny-Rocks Stadium) last time out, beating Oxford United 1-0. Mandroiu scored. Those three points felt sweet as this club had gone four league games without victory.

Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Milton Keynes Dons.

Few goals the story here? 20 of this side's most recent 24 league rounds have seen two or less goals.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The League One trip to Exeter City.

As opposed to that, Lincoln City have seen the ball go into their own net 22 times on the road. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

Lincoln City have pulled off a streak of 5 consecutive matches without defeat (3-2-0) when facing Cheltenham.
