History of the Cheltenham Town v Chesterfield fixture

Cheltenham T. are ready to welcome Chesterfield to Whaddon Road on Saturday afternoon, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. Though past meetings have resulted in more draws than losses for Robins.

The previous match played between the two at Whaddon Road was within the last three years, in April 2007, when they played out a goalless draw in a League One match.

Recent respective form guides

Cheltenham Town's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Robins have scored 4, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.

Chesterfield's away form is none too clever either, tasting just one defeat in their last six, and picking up four good wins. The games have constituted a decent return of 8 goals for the Spireites, and 4 goals against.

Cheltenham T. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 31 points from 33 matches. Chesterfield are just outside the promotion places, in 4th, having taken 57 points from 33 games.
