League Two
Our Three Predictions for Cheltenham Town vs Walsall

- Second Prediction: Over 2.5 goals to be scored – 9/10
- Third Prediction: Both teams to score – yes – 33/50
First Prediction for Cheltenham Town vs Walsall – Match to end in a draw – 11/5
Despite the fact the away side are sat at the top of the League Two table by six points with a game in hand, Cheltenham’s home form recently is not to turn your head up at. Michael Flynn’s side have the fifth-best home side in the league despite sitting 11th. They are also the fifth-best side in terms of form in their last five games and actually go into this game on better form than their table-topping opponents, who have suffered from a wobble in recent weeks. They have registered back-to-back wins in their last matches, however, before that, the away side went five games without registering a win. Cheltenham’s impressive home form, alongside Walsall’s recent wobble points towards this game ending level at full-time.Β
Second Prediction for Cheltenham Town vs Walsall – Over 2.5 goals to be scored – 9/10
This game is likely to be high-scoring with the attacking and defensive records both these sides hold. Walsall are by far and away the highest scorers in the division and have scored 61 goals in 32 League Two games this season. This is 11 more than anyone else in the league. Although the Robins haven’t quite hit the heights that their opponents have, their goalscoring record is still decent, scoring 43 goals in 33 games. However, it’s the defensive record that lets Cheltenham down most weeks, as they have also conceded 43 goals. Their clean sheet away at Newport was only their seventh of the season, highlighting the struggles they’ve had at defending this season. Walsall are almost on the same page, however, having only the ninth-best defensive record and having a worse record than the likes of Gillingham, who sit towards the bottom of the table. Both sides have proved they can score goals, but at the same time, both sides do tend to concede them.Β
Third Prediction for Cheltenham Town vs Walsall – Both teams to score – yes – 33/50
Backed up by a previous point, very rarely do these sides not score in games. The hosts have failed to score on only five occasions all season. Furthermore, only two of these five have come at home, so it is unlikely Flynn’s side won’t score on Tuesday. As for the Sadlers, they also hold a record of just five games where they have not managed to find the target. With the Robin’s aforementioned defensive struggles, it would be surprising if they also did not put the ball in the back of the net at least once.Β

Full Preview of the Game – Last Results and Head-To-Head
As mentioned above, both sides come into this game in decent form. The hosts have won three of their last five, only losing once, whilst Mat Sadler’s side have only lost once also, yet have won one less, drawing twice.
If Cheltenham were to pull off a shock result, they could potentially climb as high as 10th and close the gap from themselves to the playoffs to just five points. However, for league-leaders Walsall, with this game counting as Walsall’s game in hand, if they were to win, they’d extend their lead at the top of the table to 11 points.
Since 2011, these sides have only met seven times in all competitions, with five games coming in League Two. The Sadlers have only won one of these seven, with the other six ending in Cheltenham wins. These sides last met earlier this season, when Walsall took all three points in a 2-1 win at the Poundland Bescot Stadium.
