Prediction: 2-0
Cheltenham
Derby County will be aiming to stay in the playoffs berth when they take on Cheltenham Town in a postponed League One game. The Rams are eager to recover from a 4-1 loss to Barnsley, and it seems as if they will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. David McGoldrick, who scored his 14th goal of the season at the weekend, will be the man to watch in the home team, while both James Chester and Max Bird remain on the sidelines with injuries. Lewis Dobbin is pushing for a start.
The Robins, meanwhile, aim to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Barnsley (0-4) and Portsmouth (0-4), but given their shaky defence, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the promotion-chasing hosts. Glen Rea has overcome his injury, but all Elkan Baggott, Ben Williams, Lewis Freestone, and Tom Bradbury remain in the recovery room.

David McGoldrick is an Irish international who was born in Nottingham, England on 29 November, 1987.

David McGoldrick scored 14 goals in 31 appearances for the Tractor Boys in the 2013/2014 Championship campaign and that is considered his most successful season. You should have in mind that his Ipswich teammates Daryl Murphy and Stephen Hunt backed David for his first-ever Ireland call-up.
