Prediction: 0-1
Chesterfield
Cheltenham Town and Chesterfield square off against each other at Whaddon Park in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Saturday’s program. The Robins aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Cambridge United, but they will have yet another mountain to climb against the promotion hopefuls. Boss Michael Flynn has no fresh injury worries ahead of Chesterfield’s visit.
The Spireites, on the other hand, kicked off the new League Two campaign with a 1-0 win over Barrow. Chesterfield are more of a team than Cheltenham and we predict that the promotion-chasing visitors are going to emerge triumphant in Saturday’s encounter. In their last encounter at the venue, Cheltenham defeated Chesterfield 1-0, meaning that the visitors are hungry for revenge. Paul Cook is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Barrow 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.

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.
