Cheltenham vs Forest Green Rovers Predictions

At the start of the season, not many people would have circled this weekend’s clash between Cheltenham and Forest Green Rovers as one of the ones to watch. However, with both sides in exceptional form at the moment, the clash between these two promotion hunting sides stands out as an exciting prospect as each look to prove that they belong in the race for League One.

Cheltenham’s form over the last eight matches has been nothing short of sensational. The Robins come into this match having won six and drawn two of their last eight league matches and, with a points return like that, it should not be surprising to learn that they right in the hunt for top spot with just a two point deficit to make up and a game in hand to do it. The fact that they boast the best offensive record in the league with 26 goals in their 14 outings means that they should be pretty confident heading into this weekends fixture.

Forest Green will be hoping to keep themselves in and amongst the promotion places when they make the trip to Whaddon Road to face off against Cheltenham on Saturday afternoon. High-flying Forest Green have also been impressive over their last eight matches, although they took a bit of a tumble a few weeks ago as they lost by a goal to nil against Exeter. Saturday’s visitors have won four of their last eight, only one of which they’ve lost.

At times this season, Mark Cooper’s men have been criticised for not doing enough offensively, which in fairness, is a reasonable criticism of a side that has scored considerably less than all but one of the other six teams currently in the top seven. However, their last two outings has seen them find the back of the net twice in each match so maybe there is signs that they also have the offensive nous to compete with those sides around them.

Big games like this one often fail to live up to the hype, however, we think that neither side will fear the other and that should lead to an entertaining afternoon of football. Given the offensive capabilities of the hosts and the recent improvement in front of goal from the visitors, we expect goals in this one and backing there to be over 2.5 goals scored is where we shall be placing our money.

For our correct score tip, we cannot see there being anything between the two sides and, even though both should find the back of the net, we are predicting a 2-2 stalemate.
