Cheltenham Town fans will want a repeat of their previous result, being a 2-0 League Two triumph over Fleetwood Town.

For Cheltenham Town, goals were scored by Isaac Hutchinson (66') and Josh Martin (69').

A common feature of more recent Cheltenham Town games is the number of nil scores.

From their prior 6 clashes leading up to this one, in 5 of them a bet on "Both Teams to Score" would've been a loser. That aside, we’ll just have to find out whether that trend shall be replicated in this next match.
