Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Shrewsbury Town and Cheltenham Town, the two teams who suffered defeats on Boxing Day, face each other at Greenhous Meadow in the last game of the year. The Shrews aim to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Cambridge United, and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Thursday’s football match. Ryan Bowman is banned for the match following his sending off in the Boxing Day defeat to the U’s.
Meanwhile, the Robins aim to escape the danger zone, and they are likely to go for a win as well. Since both sides are desperate to get back on course in the League One, we believe that gamblers from all around the globe can find value in betting on both teams to score. The good news for the visitors is that both Will Ferry and Taylor Perry have overcome their respective injuries.
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.
