History of the Cheltenham Town v Tranmere Rovers fixture

Cheltenham T. prepare to entertain Tranmere Rovers at Whaddon Road on Tuesday evening, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The majority of those games have been won by the Robins.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Whaddon Road was just last season, in September 2007, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline 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 10, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.

Tranmere Rvs.'s away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Rovers have hit 5 goals, 8 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Cheltenham T. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 35 games have yielded only 25 points. Tranmere Rvs.'s total of 59 points from their 37 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola League One.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Nothing seems to be going right for the Robins at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Rovers come away with an easy victory. Away win

Sequence statistics:
Cheltenham T. 6 games since last home draw.
Tranmere Rvs. Not won in previous 3 away matches.
4 games since last defeat.
