Cheltenham Town Preview – Can the Robins upset the leaders?
Cheltenham Town have had a difficult time of late, failing to win a game in any competition since winning 2-0 at Gillingham in the league on November 23rd. Since then, they have drawn four and lost five of nine.
After three successive draws, Cheltenham were beaten away from home by high-flying Rotherham United last time out. Michael Duff’s Robins, who won the EFL League Two title last term, have won seven, drawn ten and lost ten of their opening 27 League One fixtures.
Cheltenham’s last win at Whaddon Road was a 2-1 success over Shrewsbury Town in November. However, they have managed to draw their last two home matches. Can the Robins upset the leaders and pick up a much-needed positive result from this one?
Wigan Athletic Preview – Table toppers to win again?
Leam Richardson’s Wigan Athletic have looked the real deal in League One so far this term. They have games in hand on the teams directly below them, but the Latics sit proudly at the top of the table, ahead of second-place Sunderland on goal difference. Wigan have racked up an impressive 54 points from 24 league matches.
Since losing 2-1 at home to Lincoln City in late October, Wigan are unbeaten in ten League One fixtures, winning eight and drawing two. They have won four in a row, seeing off Oxford United, Doncaster Rovers, Morecambe and Gillingham.
