Cheltenham Town form and stats
Cheltenham Town have played 9 League Two games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-2-2 (wins-draws-losses).
Cheltenham travelled for their previous game, a trip to Salford City that ended 0-0. Ahead of that match, Cheltenham lost 0-3 at home to Portsmouth.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Cheltenham have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eleven games) they have won six times, drawn three and lost two.
The manager M. Duff will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Barrow in only four days.
The Cheltenham fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 16 goals in 9 league matches. It's worth mentioning that 9 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Cheltenham have conceded 10 in these home matches.
Bolton Wanderers form and stats
3 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Bolton Wanderers playing as the away team in the League Two this season.
Bolton Wanderers play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-2 to Walsall (placed 11th). Preceding that, the 3-6 home loss versus Port Vale.
Wanderers are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, two draws and four defeats. From a total of seven matches.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Tranmere Rovers in just four days.
Wanderers find the net regularly in their away games. 10 goals from 8 away fixtures in the league. Wanderers's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 14 goals from these trips.
