The Robins host their local rivals Forest Green Rovers at Whaddon Road tomorrow in the ‘El Glosico’.
Forest Green need to get a result, with the Rovers sitting just one place above the relegation zone, just 4 points above Barnet, who have a game in hand over Mark Cooper’s side.
Cheltenham Town’s real revelation this season has been Sudanese striker Mo Eisa. The 23-year-old has scored 20 goals in the league this season, and is only behind Accrington Stanley’s Billy Kee in the league’s leading goalscorers.
ODDS :
Cheltenham – 10/11 (SkyBet)
Forest Green – 3/1 (SkyBet)
Draw – 13/5 (SkyBet)
With Forest Green having the second worst away form in the league, only winning twice on the road all season, it’s hard to back them in this one. Saying that, anything can happen in a derby, and it’s unlikely to be a walk in the park for Cheltenham.
Cheltenham have been in great scoring form as of late, scoring 3 or more goals in 3 of their last 6 games.
With the game being a derby and such an important one for Forest Green’s survival, you can always expect tension, so there could be a few cards in this one.
Dyl’s Best Bets:
Mo Eisa to score first and Cheltenham to win 3-1 – 45/1 (bet365)
50+ Match Booking Points – 9/4 (SkyBet)
Halftime: Draw, Full-time: Cheltenham – 15/4 (bet365)
Cheltenham haven’t got the greatest of records against their local rivals, but you have to predict that Gary Johnson’s side will be too strong at home against a struggling Forest Green team.
KICK OFF: 3PM, WHADDON ROAD
