The Stevenage manager will be grateful to have no fitness worries at all ahead of this clash owing to a fully healthy group available to choose from.
Due to a mostly full-strength group of players, thereโs just the one fitness issue for the Cheltenham Town gaffer Darrell Clarke to be concerned with. Robert Street (Knee injury) misses out for this game.
In our view, Cheltenham Town and Stevenage could end up without much reward for their efforts here.
Letโs see how this one goes, but it looks this could be a game with minimal goal-scoring opportunities. With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a very competitive game with a 0-0 scoreline after 90 minutes.
