Cheltenham Town and Forest Green Rovers are both riding high in the League Two with their 5th and 3rd positions respectively. Expect a great game!
It's no vacation for neither Cheltenham nor Forest Green Rovers as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Cheltenham Town form and stats
2 victories, 1 draw and 2 defeats. That’s what Cheltenham Town, who have the most clean sheets (6) in League Two, have to build on here at Jonny-Rocks Stadium in the League Two.
Cheltenham are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus Port Vale. Before that, Cheltenham Town drew at home versus Mansfield Town.
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 Town as a small favourite), we find 14 games. Cheltenham Town has won ten of these, drawn two and lost two.
Cheltenham are traveling soon after this match as the League Two match at Oldham Athletic awaits in three days.
Cheltenham are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 5 games. On the other hand, Cheltenham have conceded 5 goals.
Forest Green Rovers form and stats
The visitors are W3-D1-L1 on the road this term. That's in the League Two.
Forest Green Rovers go into this game after a win, the home game against Grimsby Town that ended 1-0. Preceding that game was the away victory against Morecambe with the score of 2-1.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Forest Green Rovers playing away and similar expectations, we found 16 relevant matches. Results were nine Forest Green Rovers wins, four draws and three defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Forest are hosting Leyton Orient in the League Two only three days away.
Forest have scored 7 goals on their travels this season, from 5 away games in the league. It's not easy to score on Forest as they have only conceded 3 goals from these away games.
Head 2 Head
As for the last nine games between these two teams, there's zero Cheltenham victories, five draws and four Forest Green Rovers wins. Over/under statistics; five of these games ended with three goals or more, four matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
