Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Chesterfield will look to return to winning ways in League Two when they host Cheltenham at the Technique Stadium. The Spireites have been tough to beat at home ground and will be confident of securing a positive result. The hosts face a Cheltenham side eager to bounce back from a narrow 1-0 loss to Port Vale, but the Robins have been struggling on the road this season. The absence of experienced forward Will Grigg is a big blow for Cheltenham and the main reason why home win should not be considered.
On the other hand, Ryan Haynes is likely to miss out with injury for the visiting side. Despite these setbacks, Cheltenham are yet to play out a draw this season, and this fixture could be the one where they finally put an end to this trend. Chesterfield will be aiming for all three points, but with Cheltenham’s resilience and the potential for a defensive approach, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw.
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.

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.
