Wycombe had their unbeaten streak of form snapped last weekend as they suffered a surprise defeat away at Swindon and they failed to get on the scoresheet as well in the match which is unusual for them. Cheltenham come for a visit after their own success last weekend in beating Lincoln which keeps the Gloucestershire club on the road to improvement. Cheltenham though are heavy underdogs at a price of 12/5 going into this one with Wycombe at even money to pick up the win.

Cheltenham TownWycombe Form
The Chairboys had put together a six-match unbeaten streak of form before they went and suffered a loss at Swindon last weekend. It was a surprising defeat as well because Wycombe are one of the strongest scoring sides in the division and Swindon aren’t a defensive powerhouse. So that was a misfire from Wycombe who have still scored at least two goals in five of their last seven games and exactly three goals on four separate occasions in that sequence. At home, they are W3 D2 L2 for the season and are unbeaten in three there. Adebayo Akinfenwa will bully the Cheltenham defence and he is a 6/4 anytime goalscorer option and good value to strike.
Cheltenham Form
After Looking like full on relegation candidates after losing five of their opening seven games of the season, the Robins have pounded out five wins in their last eight (D1 L2). They returned to winning ways last weekend with a superb 1-0 home win over Lincoln. Away from home they haven’t had that many positives this season from a W1 D2 L4 record, but have only lost one of their last three. Their only success on the road this season came in a 2-0 win at Chesterfield. Cheltenham have only returned the five away goals this season.
Head to Head News
Each of the last three between these at Wycombe have gone over 2.5 goals so there could be some good action in this one. Last season there was a 3-3 draw in this corresponding fixture. Wycombe have a clear upper hand in the head to head form having gone unbeaten in their last five against the Robins, winning three of those.
Top Betting Tips
Wycombe looks the safer bet in this one. There hasn’t been much wrong with the form of the Chairboys this season and Cheltenham’s recovery has largely been on home soil. Wycombe need a big comeback performance after slipping up last weekend and they can put three points on the board in a game that is likely to go over 2.5 goals.
