Cheltenham slipped to a narrow defeat in a tricky away fixture at Lincoln in midweek which snapped a three-match unbeaten streak of form that they had improved to in League Two. While they did have a good day out in their last home game, they are going to be under the cosh in this one as Wycombe come to town.

WycombeCheltenham Form
The Robins were beaten out at Lincoln in midweek and that leaves them with only the one win in their last six league games. They had a great time of things though at Whaddon Road in their last home match as they stuffed Port Vale 5-1. They have taken four points from their last two home games so have a bit of form going there recently. Overall at home, they are W7 D4 L5. They have had real problems keeping the ball out of the back of their net though and they are without a clean sheet now in any of their last ten league games and they have shipped in each of their last five at home. Better defences that Cheltenham’s have fallen badly at the hands of Wycombe. With the Robins averaging 1.5 goals per game at home though, it’s worth backing both teams to score in the fixture, but Cheltenham will be under huge pressure here.
Wycombe Form
Wycombe are bombing along at the moment with a W7 D1 record in their last eight league games. They had a tough duel against Swindon in midweek and still came out with a 3-2 win thanks to a late strike from ‘The Beast’ Adebayo Akinfenwa. That is an eleven match scoring streak in the league that the Chairboys are on but their defence is vulnerable. They have not taken a clean sheet in any of their last eight league matches now but they have still managed to put that strong streak of form together. Three of their last five games have ended in a 3-2 win for them and Wycombe have scored at least three goals now in five of their last six games. Away from home, they have dropped just two points in their last four road games, scoring nine goals in that sequence of form. They just find a way to better whatever the opposition can seem to throw at them.
Head to Head News
There was a thrilling 3-3 draw between these to this season and that is back to back games now between these two in which that result has come up. Four of the last five meetings between them have gone over 2.5 goals and with the goals that Wycombe are firing in, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see it happen again. Wycombe are unbeaten in their last three visits to Whaddon Road, winning the last two there. The Chairboys have netted at least two goals in four of their last five games against Cheltenham now.
