Cheltenham Town form and stats

The story so far in the League One for Cheltenham Town at their home stadium (Jonny-Rocks Stadium) is 3 wins, 0 draws and 4 defeats. When Cheltenham Town hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Cambridge United, Oxford United, Accrington Stanley, Forest Green Rovers, Milton Keynes Dons, Burton Albion and Cheltenham Town), they have won 1 of 2 matches! With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Cheltenham Town to get some points in this home game.

Cheltenham lost their last game at Burton Albion (placed 21st) after a 0-1 scoreline. Southwood, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 7.2 out of 10 in that game. Southwood saved a penalty.

Morecambe form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Morecambe so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-3 (win-draw-lose).

The regulars enjoyed Morecambe's previous game versus Barnsley (placed 9th), a 1-0 win played at home. Those three points felt good as this club had gone four league fixtures without winning. Ripley was the team player of the game with the player rating of 7.85. The agile goalkeeper Ripley topped it up with a clean sheet.

A loss, in the EFL Trophy away at Harrogate Town, before that. We have checked recent matches where Morecambe have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 11 games were 4 victories, 4 draws and 3 defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Morecambe manager Adams as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Wycombe Wanderers.

Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Morecambe have conceded 12 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.

Head 2 Head
