The Completely Suzuki Stadium (Whaddon Road) will host an intriguing EFL League Two clash this Saturday, as Cheltenham Town welcome promotion-chasing Notts County for matchweek 15.
Cheltenham Town, currently sitting 20th with 14 points, have shown signs of resurgence under Steve Cotterill. The Robins come into this match unbeaten in their last five games across all competitions, including a 1-0 FA Cup victory over Bradford City. Cotterill’s side have found consistency at home, scoring in each of their last five matches and avoiding defeat in their previous three outings at Whaddon Road.
Notts County, on the other hand, remain in the top five despite some mixed recent form. Martin Paterson’s team were beaten 2-0 by Manchester United in the Vertu Trophy but have been reliable in front of goal — scoring in four straight away matches. However, defensive lapses continue to cost them points, with only one clean sheet in their last seven games.
Head-to-Head and Key Stats
- Cheltenham have scored in five consecutive games in all competitions.
- Notts County have found the net in each of their last four away games.
- Both teams scored in four of the last six head-to-head meetings.
- Cheltenham won the most recent encounter 2-1.
Prediction
Both sides are strong offensively but vulnerable at the back, and with the stats pointing towards open play, this should be a lively contest at both ends of the pitch.
Predicted Score: Cheltenham Town 2–2 Notts County
Tip: BTTS (Both Teams to Score)
