Our Predictions For Cheltenham Town vs Swindon Town
Prediction 1 – Both teams to score – 1.59
Prediction 2 – Over 2.5 goals – 1.78
Prediction 3 – Match to end in a draw – 3.20
First Prediction For Cheltenham Town vs Swindon Town – Both Teams To Score – 1.59
Despite their poor start to life under Michael Flynn, Cheltenham have only failed to score in two matches in the league this season. Swindon have scored three fewer goals overall, but the host’s poor defensive performances are nothing to turn your nose up at, keeping only one clean sheet in all competitions this season. With both sides towards the bottom of the table and on a minus four-goal difference, it would be fair to say that this match will be a high-scoring affair between two sides who desperately need three points.
Second Prediction For Cheltenham Town vs Swindon Town – Over 2.5 Goals – 1.78
As previously mentioned, both sides seem to be leaking goals and scoring them at the minute. For Flynn’s side, they proved they can score goals, but at the same time, they have proved they can also concede them. With the defence currently so weak, the visitors can exploit this, and with the side scoring four times midweek against League One outfit Bristol Rovers, they will certainly have full confidence going into Saturday’s clash.
Third Prediction For Cheltenham Town vs Swindon Town – Match To End In A Draw – 3.20
With little to separate the two teams right now, a draw seems like the most probable outcome for this match. Both teams are sat within mere points of one another, and only one place in the table separates the two sides at the time of writing. Cheltenham having the home advantage could prove to be massive, however, with both side’s away form being pretty dire. Both sides have yet to pick up a win on the road, however, Swindon have picked up four away draws this season, and one draw at home. Cheltenham have only drawn once this season, but their poor form as well as defensive woes all point towards both sides coming away with a point.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results and Head-To-Head
Cheltenham Town come into this game on the back of a disappointing 2-1 loss away to Barrow. Flynn’s side has been inconsistent this season, only winning back-to-back games in all competitions once in all competitions. A postponement against Reading due to a waterlogged pitch in the EFL Trophy will give them more time to prepare and recover from a busy week, playing two games, winning against Accrington Stanley but then surrendering a lead against Barrow on Saturday.
Mark Kennedy’s side seem to be suffering a similar fate to their local rivals, winning only twice this season in all competitions. A 4-0 win midweek against Bristol Rovers should give them confidence however, as they look to register back-to-back wins for the first time this season.
Both sides have not faced each other since an FA Cup clash in 2019, but since facing each in 2011, Cheltenham have won six of the ten encounters, three matches have ended in draws, and Swindon have only one once.
