Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Cheltenham play host to Harrogate at their Whaddon Road in what is expected to be a close League Two encounter. The Robins are on a three-game losing run in League Two, but the EFL Trophy win over Newport County surely gave them a confidence boost. Cheltenham are determined to escape the danger zone, but Saturday’s game will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side.
Both Liam Dulson and Ryan Bowman return to the starting XI after the duo was rested in the EFL Trophy clash. The Sulphurites, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Barrow. As Cheltenham are tough to beat at home, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing more than one point from the match. There are no fresh injury concerns in the visiting team ahead of the trip to Gloucestershire.
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.
