Our Three Predictions For Cheltenham Town vs Bristol Rovers
- Prediction 1 – Fabrizio Cavegn To Score – TBC
- Prediction 2 – Under 2.5 Goals Scored – 13/14
- Prediction 3 – Match To End In A Draw – 5/2
First Prediction For Cheltenham Town vs Bristol Rovers – Fabrizio Cavegn To Score – TBC
The Swiss forward has been a very good signing since arriving from Liechtenstein’s FC Vaduz in the summer, and has stepped up with 8 goals in his first 20 matches in blue and white. While he has not shown his ability in his previous 3 matches, you only have to look at performances like against Bromley in the FA Cup 1st round.
The 23-year-old is likely to continue to lead the line as Promise Omochere’s absence continues and as Darrell Clarke opts to play Ellis Harrison in a supporting role. With Cheltenham lacking any clear goalscorers within their ranks, the best choice to find the net should be Cavegn.
Second Prediction For Cheltenham Town vs Bristol Rovers – Under 2.5 Goals Scored – 12/13
There have been common trends in these sides’ seasons so far, and that is a lack of defensive solidity. Cheltenham have conceded the most goals of any team in League Two this season with 30, and Bristol Rovers have let in a goal fewer, with bottom-placed Newport County on 28.
Goals have not been going in the right end for either team, with both averaging under 1 goal per match. Town also have the joint-fewest goals scored in League Two, level with Oldham Athletic. With their standout goalscorer in Isaac Hutchinson unavailable, it is hard to see where many goals come from in this contest.
Third Prediction For Cheltenham Town vs Bristol Rovers – Match To End In A Draw – 5/2
Despite Steve Cotterill bringing some optimism to Gloucestershire, losing Hutchinson for this match may cost them a chance to jump out of the relegation places this weekend. The midfielder has contributed directly to nearly half of all their goals this season, and with nobody really delivering elsewhere, they will struggle in this contest.
Bristol Rovers have had a torrid time as of late, losing each of their last 5 matches and this is a prime opportunity for them to reverse their fortunes. They may also struggle in this contest in a game where Cheltenham will feel they can get a result, meaning a draw could be a likely outcome.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head
Cheltenham Town’s honeymoon with Steve Cotterill has perhaps worn off, with the Robins now back in the relegation zone with back-to-back losses. Despite some strong performances in each game, Town lost to both Notts County and Tranmere Rovers in the past 2 weeks, with Harrogate Town‘s draw with the Magpies pushing them into 23rd.
They did not come out of the 3-2 defeat at Prenton Park unscathed, with midfielder Ben Stevenson requiring 12 stitches in his leg as a result of a challenge in the 1st half. He will likely join Isaac Hutchinson on the sidelines for this game, who is unavailable to play against his parent club.
Bristol Rovers have the worst form in League Two right now, having lost each of their last 5 games in the division to send them sliding down the table and sit 3 points above Cheltenham ahead of this clash. The Pirates’ joys have come in cup competitions however, with wins against Bromley in the FA Cup and Plymouth Argyle in the EFL Trophy.
Some joy may come for Gas heading into this clash with a few faces returning to the team, somewhat easing the crisis currently plaguing the club. Darrell Clarke had 9 players missing for their most recent match, a 3-1 loss against Accrington Stanley, but will welcome back Freddie Issaka, Joel Cotterill, Luke Southwood and Ollie Dewsbury.
Rovers’ last away win in any competition came against Cheltenham back in October in the Trophy, and in the league it goes back to early September with a 3-2 victory against Newport County. They have earned 8 points on the road all season, while Cheltenham have gained 9 points at home.
