Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Salford
Match Time & Date:

10:00 AM
Prediction: 1-1
Cheltenham
All eyes will be on Peninsula Stadium when Salford City and Cheltenham Town face each other in the League Two derby. Salford quickly bounced back from a 2-1 loss to Carlisle, with the team beating Barrow thanks to Hunter’s goal, and, no doubt, the triumph helped them regain a much-needed confidence. The Lions aim to retain their spot in top seven, and we are positive that they will go for a win in the Peninsula Stadium clash.
The visitors, on the other hand, are eyeing their third consecutive win in the league. Cheltenham impressed in a 5-3 win over Exeter, but beating Salford on the road is easier said than done. A close encounter is on the horizon in the League Two derby, and we are tempted to put our money on draw. In their last meeting in the English fourth tier Cheltenham recorded a 2-0 win over Salford.
Highlighted Player (Richie Towell):
Richie Towell is a professional footballer who was born in Dublin, Ireland on July 17, 1991. After starting his youth career at Crumlin United, Towell was spotted by Celtic scouts in 2007, and he decided to join the famous Scottish outfit.
However, he made only one appearance for the Hoops at senior level, coming as a substitute for Jos Hooiveld in a 2-2 draw with Inverness in November 2010. Ritchie Towell played for the likes of Hibernian (loan), Dundalk, Brighton, and Rotherham United (loan) as well before signing a deal with his current club Salford City.
The Salford City midfielder has nine caps with the Republic of Ireland U21 team, but he has yet to earn a call-up with the senior team. His primary position is central midfield, but he is used as an attacking midfielder as well. Richie Towell has two Irish Premier League trophies with Dundalk (2013, 2014).
