It has been quite a turnaround from Cheltenham this season in League Two. They won just one of their opening seven games and looked as if they were going to be in a bad way. But then something clicked and they have taken ten points from their last four games (W3 D1). Swindon still remains a little patchy, but on their day they are a pretty handy side. They have won four of their last six games. This should be entertaining at Whaddon Road. Cheltenham are 6/5 favourites to pick up the home win, with Swindon at 21/10.

SwindonCheltenham Form
So Cheltenham are ticking over nicely at the moment with a vast improvement having come in their attacking prowess. After failing to score in four of their opening seven games they have scored in each of their last four for a total of nine goals. They have won their last two league games back to back with a clean sheet as well. Their home form this season reads W3 D0 L2 and they have won their last two at Whaddon Road, scoring exactly three goals in each of them as well.
Swindon Form
Swindon have won four of their last six games then and the two defeats in that sequence only came against sides currently in the top four (Notts County and Coventry). But among the wins in the sequence, they beat both Luton and Stevenage who are top six sides, so Swindon are just a little bit unpredictable. Away from home they have been great though with a W4 D0 L1 record. Their only away loss happened at current league leaders Notts County and only by a 1-0 defeat as well.
Head to Head News
This is the first league meeting between these two since the 2011/12 League Two season. They traded 1-0 home victories that season. There isn’t a great deal of head to head between these two but Cheltenham are 6-2 ahead with two drawn matches. From the four previous League Two meetings, Cheltenham hold a W2 D1 L1 record against Swindon. Their most recent meeting was in the 2014/15 FA Cup which Cheltenham won 5-0 at Whaddon Road. They are unbeaten in five previous home games against Swindon in a W4 D1 record.
Top Betting Tips
Cheltenham may be worth a punt in this one. They have decent home form going at the moment and have a good head to head home record against Swindon as well. Swindon are a handy side on their day but have an element of unpredictability. Back the home side.
