Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Cheltenham Town will look to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Barrow when they take on Swindon Town in the League Two round 11. The Robins defeated Accrington 2-1 in their last home game, which is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of Saturday’s clash. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Ryan Bowman, who has found his goal-scoring touch of late.
The Robins, on the other hand, have been struggling to find their best form of late, with the team failing to win the previous four league matches. In their last meeting in a competitive match Cheltenham defeated Swindon 1-0 (FA Cup, 2019) and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. To make things even worse for the away team, important forward Kabongo Tshimanga limped off with injury in a goalless draw with Harrogate at the weekend.
Highlighted Team (Cheltenham):
Founded in 1887 by a local teacher Albert Close White, Cheltenham Town are an English club that compete in League Two. The Robins wear white jerseys with red stripes and white shorts when playing at home, while sky blue is the dominant colour of their away kit.
Cheltenham Town clinched the FA Trophy in 1998, with the team defeating Southport 1-0 in the title game. The match was played at Wembley Stadium in front of 26,837 spectators, with John Eaton scoring the only goal of the match. The Robins have won Leamington Hospital Cup, Midland Floodlit Cup, Gloucestershire Senior Cup, Cheltenham League and Gloucestershire Senior Amateur North Challenge Cup as well.
The likes of Gloucester City and Hereford are seen as Cheltenham’s traditional rivals, while, in more recent years, Forest Green Rovers have been the club’s main rivals. A 12-0 win over Chippenham Rovers (November 2, 1935), with the team suffering their biggest defeat against Tydfil (1-10) on March 8, 1952.
