Cheltenham Town

Cheltenham Town will want to continue from where they left off last time out with a 1-2 League Two triumph vs Notts County.
For Cheltenham Town, the goals were scored by Jordan Thomas (75') and Ethon Archer (89'). Alassana Jatta (45') scored for Notts County.
It has been all too rare in recent times where Cheltenham Town have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Cheltenham Town have been scored against in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, leaking 10 goals along the way.
Going into this encounter, Cheltenham Town are without a home win in the past 6 league games. Fans are getting restless.
