Oxford United
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-1
Cheltenham
Following back-to-back losses to Leyton Orient and Portsmouth, Oxford United will look to stay in the playoffs race when they take on Cheltenham Town on Matchday 37. The Yellows are after their ninth home win of the process and they are surely capable of beating the relegation strugglers at their Kassam Stadium. Elliott Moore has overcome a hip injury, while Billy Bodin is pushing for a recall to the starting XI.
The Robins, meanwhile, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-1 loss to Charlton Athletic. As Cheltenham Town have already suffered eleven defeats on the road this term, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from Saturday’s encounter. The bad news for the visiting side is that both Will Ferry and Matt Taylor limped off with injuries in the last league match.
Highlighted Player (Elliott Moore):
Born in Coalville, England on March 16, 1997 Elliott Moore is an English footballer who plays for Oxford United as a centre-back. Moore has one cap with the England U18 team, while making two appearances for the England U20 team.
The 196-cm tall defender is a product of Leicester City football school, joining the club at the age of 6, but he did not enjoy a first-team football with the Foxes. He made his first appearances for Leicester City senior team on July 19, 2017 against WBA at the Asia Trophy. After spending a couple of seasons on loan at OH Leuven, Elliott Moore returned to England in the summer of 2019, signing a contract with League One side Oxford United.
Moore made his League One debut against Sunderland on August 3, 2019. The two teams played out a 1-1 draw at Stadium of Light in the opening match of the season, with Elliott Moore coming from the bench in the dying minutes of the game.
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.
