Notts County
Cheltenham continues their impressive climb up the standings, remaining unbeaten in their last six matches with three wins and three draws.
But they’ve struggled to keep clean sheets, conceding at least one goal in five of those games.
Their attacking style often leaves their defense exposed, as reflected in their home goal difference of 16:13 across 12 matches.
Meanwhile, Notts County finally broke their poor away form with a stunning 2-0 victory over MK Dons, managing a rare clean sheet.
Despite this win, their defense remains a concern, having conceded 16 goals in 12 away matches.
Although the last five head-to-head meetings between these teams aren’t recent, four of them ended with both teams finding the net, suggesting we could see a similar outcome this time.
What we say
Both Teams to Score
Cheltenham is expected to maintain their attacking approach as they look to exploit Notts County’s shaky away defense.
With just a four-point gap separating them from the top seven, Cheltenham has every incentive to push for a win, making this an open and competitive match.
Notts County, on the other hand, will likely respond with their own attacking flair, led by standout performers Jatta (9 goals, 3 assists) and McGoldrick (8 goals, 2 assists).
Given the offensive strengths of both sides, a match where both teams find the net seems highly likely.
