Cheltenham Town

LLLLWL

Cheltenham Town will be wanting a better result here following a 1-2 League One losing effort in their last game against Lincoln City.

The only name on the scoresheet from Cheltenham Town was Liam Sercombe (15'). Joe Taylor (40') and Freddie Draper (52') scored for Lincoln City.

It’s not been often in recent games where Cheltenham Town haven’t conceded. The reality is that Cheltenham Town have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 12 goals along the way. That kind of trend won’t necessarily be sustained here, however.

Coming into this clash, Cheltenham Town are without a win at home for the past 6 league matches. Their supporters are understandably frustrated.
