Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Match outcome: Cheltenham Town to win — 2.13
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Both teams to score: NO — 1.85
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Total goals: Under 2.5 — 1.70
Although Cheltenham are winless in their last five League One matches, there’s a chance they could end there winless run against Accrington Stanley because they don’t give in easily at home and Accrington have been dreadful in recent games as well.
Two of Cheltenham’s last three matches ended without both teams getting on the scoreboard while two of Accrington’s last four games ended with both teams NOT scoring. Hence, this game could end similarly.
Because Cheltenham Town are somewhat decent at the back, there’s a huge chance this game could end with less than three goals. Cheltenham’s last two games ended with under 2.5 goals and two of Accrington Stanley’s last four games ended similarly.
Cheltenham are winless in their last five matches in the league at least, having lost four and drawn one. They are keen on turning their form around in order to remain in the division ahead of next season. They succumbed to a narrow 1-0 defeat to another decent side, Bolton, but are keen to end their winless run this weekend against Accrington Stanley. Cheltenham Town occupy the 18th position with 29 points after 28 games.
Accrington Stanley have one win in their last five league matches, and two wins in their last six matches across all competitions including last Tuesday’s 1-1 draw away from home against Port Vale. Accrington Stanley’s inconsistency has left them battling to remain in League One after 27 matches as they currently occupy 22nd position with 26 points.
Both teams are not in their best form and it would obviously be understandable if both teams shared the points after the final whistle. However, there’s a chance the hosts could go on to win this game, so I say Cheltenham 1-0 Accrington Stanley.
While both teams are unlikely to score in this game, I’d give the hosts a tight win.
I’d back Cheltenham to avoid a defeat against Accrington Stanley.
