Cheltenham vs Gillingham Prediction and Betting Tips 27 January 2026

Cheltenham look to respond after a 2-0 defeat to Grimsby, but despite no fresh injury worries, their recent form remains inconsistent. Therefore, we predict that the two teams will play out a 1-1 draw at Whaddon Road. The Robins have taken 1.30 points per game overall and only 1.17 at home, where they have lost three of their last five. Cheltenham score 1.17 goals per home match but concede 1.33, and they have failed to score in 50% of home outings. Their underlying numbers remain modest, with 1.25 expected goals and 1.42 xGA at home.

Gillingham head into the midweek clash confident after a dominant 3-0 win over Harrogate. The visitors are unbeaten in their last three and average 1.20 points per game overall, with 1.40 points per game at home but only 1.00 away. The Gills score 1.40 goals per away match and concede 1.40, while producing 1.57 xG on the road, suggesting they create decent chances despite mixed results. They also keep 40% away clean sheets, a notable contrast to Cheltenham’s attacking struggles.

As 88% of H2H matches have featured 2 or more goals, Over 1.5 goals is our main betting tip, with additional value on BTTS and Gillingham or Draw.

This League 2 match will be played on Tuesday 27 January 2026 at 19:45.
