Cheltenham Town form and stats

5 victories, 2 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Cheltenham Town have to build on here at Jonny-Rocks Stadium in the League One.

The Cheltenham crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-5 to Cambridge United here at Jonny-Rocks Stadium in a League One match. As you see from the result above, Cheltenham suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one. The attacker Daniel Crowley won the honour of being "man of the match" for Cheltenham with a rating of 6.72/10. Crowley dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

Heartbreak before that as Cheltenham lost 3-4 at AFC Wimbledon's place.

This is expected to be a close game, with Cheltenham Town perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Cheltenham as a small favourite), we find eleven games. Cheltenham Town has won seven of these, drawn two and lost two.

The Cheltenham fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 10 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Cheltenham defense is not exactly impregnable. 16 goals conceded from 10 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Lincoln City form and stats

3 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses. That’s the product of Lincoln City, who have the fewest clean sheets (1) in League One, playing as the away team in the League One this season. Recent form does not give Lincoln much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Cheltenham Town will be a tough nut to crack.

Lincoln are looking to quickly end their 407 minutes long goal drought in the League One.

Lincoln lost away at Crewe Alexandra (0-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Chris Maguire, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.05. Maguire hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Hartlepool United.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 13 similar matches played by Lincoln in our archives, and the results are: four wins for Lincoln City, five draws and four defeats.

Lincoln are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 12 away goals from 10 games (in the league). As opposed to that, Lincoln have seen the ball go into their own net 13 times on the road.
