Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Whaddon Park will host Tuesday’s football game between Cheltenham Town and Shrewsbury Town, the two teams with entirely different ambitions for the remainder of the season. The rock-bottom side aim to secure yet another League One survival, while the Shrews aim to climb to the top half of the table. Cheltenham forward Will Goodwin limped off with injury in the last league match, with George Lloyd likely to step up.
The visitors, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing to both Portsmouth and Peterborough in the last two league matches. Shrewsbury, though, have been struggling at the back of late and we do not believe that they are capable of grabbing more than one point from the midweek clash. Morgan Feeney is widely expected to replace Aaron Pierre in the starting XI as the later suffered an injury in the last league fixture.
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.
