A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Cheltenham Town fans are optimistic that the difference between 4th and Stevenage's 23rd place in the table will show on the pitch.
- Stevenage have yet to win a game away.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Cheltenham Town form and stats
Overall League Two stats at home this season for Cheltenham Town are 5-2-3 (wins-draw-losses).
W. Boyle was the last player to score a league goal for Cheltenham Town and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Cheltenham haven't scored in 270 minutes.
Cheltenham lost their last game at Barrow (placed 22nd) after a 0-3 scoreline. Preceding that match was a defeat to Bolton Wanderers (0-1).
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Cheltenham as they are travelling to their away game against Colchester United in the League Two. That match is three days after this one.
The Cheltenham fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 16 goals in 10 league matches. 11 goals have been conceded.
Stevenage form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Stevenage so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 0-5-4 (win-draw-lose).
Stevenage have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 220 minutes ago. A. Oteh was the goal scorer.
Two away games in a row for Stevenage, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-4 versus Carlisle United in the League Two. Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Southend United.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Carlisle United was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Stevenage as they have only managed to score 5 times from 9 away games in the league. 13 goals have been conceded by Stevenage in these games.
