Our 3 predictions for Cheltenham Town vs Tranmere Rovers

  • 1st prediction: Game to end in a draw
  • 2nd prediction: Under 3.5 goals in the game
  • 3rd prediction: Both teams to score – No

1st prediction for Cheltenham Town vs Tranmere Rovers: Game to end in a draw 21/10

This is a very difficult game to call compared to most. Both sides are in very inconsistent form at the moment which sees them lying in lower-mid table, making this game even more important with the two teams in touching distance of each other. With this in mind, it’s likely to be a cagey affairs between two even teams looking to get the better of each other, so quality may be in short supply. That being said, and with the inconsistencies in form, a draw looks most likely.

2nd prediction for Cheltenham Town vs Tranmere Rovers: Under 3.5 goals in the game 1/5

This isn’t likely to be a high scoring game. Both sides are languishing towards the bottom of the table and will likely cancel each other out with attacking quality probably at a premium, and potentially cautious play from both teams. While Cheltenham’s attacking record isn’t too bad Tranmere are the lowest scorers in the league by a considerable distance, with only ten scored all season. They are good at the back though, so may repel the home side’s attack while failing to create themselves.

3rd prediction for Cheltenham Town vs Tranmere: Both teams to score – No 43/50

Again, this won’t be a classic, and if there is a winner it will likely be decided by the odd goal. This prediction is ultimately underpinned by Tranmere’s poor goalscoring record which has seen the average a goal roughly every 126 minutes, and their comparatively strong defence which has conceded only 17. It’s therefore likely that if anyone scores it will be Cheltenham, who have netted 21 times, though they have conceded 25. With this in mind, it looks highlu unlikely both will score on Friday night.

Full preview of the game: last results and head to head

This is a big game down towards the bottom of the table; neither side are in immediate danger of falling into the relegation zone but will hope for a win here to prevent any slide down the league. Cheltenham sit 17th, with Tranmere two places lower in 19th, though they do have two games in hand. The home side have a very run-of-the-mill record for their position, whereas Tranmere concede little and score even fewer. Looking at the clubs’ runs of form, they’re both in inconsistent spells at the moment. Both have two wins from their last six though Tranmere have lost one more, with three defeats. A win for either would be key to arresting that spell and getting a bit of consistency to get them up the table. 

In this fixture’s past, Cheltenham have the upper hand having won the last two meetings by an aggregate score of 7-0. That was in the 2020-21 season though, and the fixture was unpredictable before then, so it remains to be seen how Friday will pan out.
