Wigan Athletic - Cheltenham Town predictions and free betting tips [23/02/2024]

On 23rd of February in League 1, England's third-tier division, at the "DW" stadium, "Cheltenham" will play with "Wigan". Let's take a look at the state of the teams and try to make a decision that will help increase our bankroll.

"Wigan"

Due to financial problems, the team was stripped of 8 points, hence, it will be somewhat difficult for "Wigan" to climb to the top of the league table with such a handicap for their rivals. At present, they are in 13th position.

In the 29th match, they were defeated by "Stevenage" with a score of (2:3). They then managed to win against "Peterborough" (3:2). But after this, the team lost at home to "Exeter City" with a score of (1:2). In the next match, they were defeated again, this time by "Oxford" (2:4). In the last round, however, "Wigan" claimed a minimal victory over "Shrewsbury".

"Cheltenham"

Last season, they finished in the 16th position in the third division. Currently, they are in 21st position, which at the moment guarantees them relegation to League 2. In the 27th round, they were defeated by "Derby" with a score of (1:2).

In the following round, they lost their 3rd consecutive match against "Wycombe" (1:3). But after this, they managed to win against "Cambridge" away with a minimal score. The team then claimed a confident victory over "Blackpool" with a score of (2:0). In the last match, the lads defeated "Port Vale" (3:2).

Head to Head

The last face-to-face duel between "Cheltenham" and "Wigan" was on the 11th of November, 2023. That match ended in a draw with a scoreline of (1:1).

Prediction

"Cheltenham" has been showing excellent results in recent games, but they will be playing away, thus questioning their victory. "Wigan" does not seem like a strong opponent, but they can provide serious resistance. Based on this, I would recommend a bet on both to score.

Total Prediction

I believe the teams will display productive football, so I propose a bet on total over 2.5.
