English football is an absolute must-watch, presenting its viewers with emotional thrills and dazzling memories, piquing the interest of even those not immersed in football. On the 5th of March, in League 1 - the third highest division in England - a match is set to take place at Whaddon Road.

Cheltenham

They ended the previous season in the third division at the 16th spot. Currently, they are standing at the 21st position, which as it stands, guarantees them relegation to League 2.

In the 30th round, the team confidently defeated Blackpool (2:0). In the following match, the lads beat Port Vale (3:2). This was followed by a draw against Wigan (1:1). However, they then suffered a loss to Wycombe with a score of (0:2). In their most recent match, Cheltenham played a goalless draw against Burton Albion.

Charlton

A renowned club, which spent the early part of the 21st century in the Premier League. Following this, they got relegated to the Championship, and subsequently, to League 1. Since then, Charlton has been going back and forth between League 1 and the Championship, having made it into the second division twice in the last 10 years. Last season, the team ended up in 10th place in the table. Currently, they are in the 18th place.

In the 32nd round, they drew with Lincoln (1:1). Then the squad played a score draw with Bolton (3:3). The next match resulted in a goalless draw against Portsmouth.

Head-to-head

The last face-to-face encounter between Cheltenham and Charlton was on the 28th of November 2023. That match saw a victory for Charlton (2:1).

Prediction

Charlton has been showing average performance in their recent games, maintaining an undefeated streak of 5 matches. The team pulled off 1 victory and managed 4 draws. Cheltenham, on the other hand, has been solid on home soil, with 3 wins in their last 5 games, including a victory over the reigning league leader. However, I think the guests appear slightly more confident at the moment, so I’ll go for Charlton on a zero handicap.

Total prediction

I believe that in this confrontation, the teams will manage to showcase their scoring abilities. Hence, I propose a bet on more than 2.5 goals.
