County Ground will host an intriguing League Two clash between Swindon Town and Cheltenham Town, with both sides looking to build on their respective opening-day results. Swindon played out a goalless draw with Northampton and will be desperate to find their attacking rhythm after scoring just 1.00 goal per game across their last 10 matches. The Robins have been more effective at home, averaging 1.50 goals per game in their recent home fixtures, but defender Sam Inwood remains sidelined through injury.
Cheltenham, meanwhile, made a winning start by defeating Rotherham United 2-1, with Jake Evans making an instant impact from the bench by scoring the winner. He is now pushing for a place in the starting XI. The visitors have won four of their last 10 matches and have scored in eight of those games. However, their away form remains inconsistent, while Cheltenham have conceded 1.80 goals per game across their last 10 overall fixtures. The H2H record favours the visitors, who have won six of the last 12 meetings.
Cheltenham have won six of the last 12 H2H meetings, while Swindon have won only once in their last 10 matches. Therefore, our main prediction firmly points toward Away Win, alongside Over 1.5 goals (this landed in 75% of the last 12 meetings, while Swindon's recent games average 3.20 goals).
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 22 August 2026 at 15:00.
