Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Walsall take on Cheltenham at their Bescot Stadium on day 4 of the new League Two campaign. The hosts are eyeing their third win of the process and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Nathan Lowe should keep his place in the starting XI after scoring a brace in the EFL Cup triumph over Huddersfield Town, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The visitors, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form and given their three-game losing run in all competitions, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. All Miller, Dulson, and Archer are pushing for a start as Michael Flynn should opt to make changes to the team that suffered the 1-0 defeat to AFC Wimbledon at the weekend. The 43-year-old Welsh tactician is likely to stick to the 3-5-3 formation.
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.
