Cheltenham Town perform at a high level so far being 3rd in the table. Walsall can look both up and down from their 13th position.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Cheltenham Town form and stats
When playing at home in the League Two, Cheltenham Town, who have the most clean sheets (6) in League Two, have managed 3 wins, 1 draw and suffered 2 defeats from 6 games.
A strong away win for Cheltenham against Carlisle United the last match, as Conor Thomas and William Boyle were on target. Previous to that game, a EFL Trophy home match hosting Norwich City U21 in a game that was won 1-0.
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 Town have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won five times, drawn three and lost two.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Cheltenham as they have a new game in only three days, a League Two match thankfully also at home. Cambridge United are visiting.
The Cheltenham fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 6 matches. Cheltenham's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 6 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Walsall form and stats
0-5-0 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Walsall in their League Two matches away. The awayteam now has five consecutive draws when travelling away from home.
Walsall might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Southend United proved too strong as Walsall slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at The Banks's Stadium. Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Oxford United.
Walsall goalkeeper Liam Roberts had a great day against Southend United, but despite making six saves the loss could not be avoided.
We have checked recent matches where Walsall have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 13 games were two victories, four draws and seven defeats.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The League Two trip to Newport County.
Walsall have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 5 league away games 7 goals have been scored. As opposed to that, Walsall have seen the ball go into their own net 7 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
As for the last eight games between these two teams, there's two Cheltenham victories, two draws and four Walsall wins. Over/under statistics; five of these games ended with three goals or more, three matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
