Tranmere vs Cheltenham Preview
After settling for a 1-1 draw with Crawley Town, Tranmere Rovers will look to return to winning ways when they take on Cheltenham in the League Two round 14. The Super White Army have experienced mixed fortunes in League Two recently, but their home record offers some encouragement, with three wins and a draw in their last five matches at Prenton Park. They have also conceded just 0.80 goals per home game during that period. Charlie Whitaker is widely expected to return to the starting XI after coming off the bench last time out, while there are no fresh injury concerns for the hosts.
Cheltenham Town, meanwhile, are high on confidence after recording back-to-back victories over Fleetwood (4-2) and Newport County (1-0). However, their away form remains a concern, with just one road win this season and a heavy 4-1 defeat to Oldham in their most recent away outing. The Robins have conceded an average of 2.00 goals per away match, and their task could be made harder by the likely absence of key midfielder Charlie McCann, who picked up a knock against Newport.
Taking everything into account, Tranmere to Win is our main betting tip, with home advantage and Cheltenham’s poor away record favouring the hosts. Tranmere to Win to Nil and Under 3.5 goals also seem tempting, as 7 of the 11 previous meetings finished with fewer than four goals.
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday, 31 October 2026 at 15:00 in Prenton Park, Wirral, England.
