Cheltenham vs Swindon Predictions

The early stages of the season can often be a time which proves to be the most essential in the season as a good start can bring the sort of confidence which helps a team play well for the rest of the campaign where as a poor start can dishearten a side’s confidence in their management. This weekend sees two sides who have begun well in League Two as Cheltenham Town welcome Swindon Town to Whaddon Road.

Cheltenham Town’s opening day defeat at the hands of Leyton Orient perhaps has to come with a bit of an asterix next to it as they were facing off against a newly promoted side in a highly emotional encounter, and since that point the host have enjoyed a much better run in the division. Cheltenham have managed to earn victories over Carlisle United and Scunthorpe United on home soil and a point against Morecambe away from home which has seen the side fly high in the division’s opening stages.

The latest side to come to Whaddon Road and try to earn the points is a Swindon Town team who will also have every reason to be cheerful ahead of this weekend’s encounter. The visitors managed to win both of their opening matches in the league, but there is reason to be concerned as they were only able to manage a point against fellow promotion hopefuls Exeter and Tuesday’s 1-0 defeat at home to Northampton Town will mean that there is a sense of doubt now about the club.

The bookies clearly fancy Swindon to get the win in this clash, but it is  not an assessment we agree with. The hosts have an excellent record in the head to head between these two sides, they are in form and although we are still early in the season, they are perfect so far on home soil. Given that the visitors did not have the best of weeks last week and have not exactly been free-scoring this season, we think that backing a home win is the way to go in this fixture.
