Cheltenham News and Form
It has been a season of struggles for the Robins but they have been starting to up their form a bit. They are unbeaten in their last five games across all competitions (W3 D2) and the most notable change for them has been a vast improvement in defensive output. That actually started with their 0-0 draw at Ebbsfleet. That started a run of three straight clean sheet for them. That was after not having earned one in nine games in all competitions. Cheltenham to win to nil is at 2/1 odds* (betting odds taken on November 19th, 2018 at 4:37 pm).
This has to be a bit of light relief for the Robins who are third from bottom of the League Two table. A good cup run could lift their spirits a bit. They are the second-lowest scorers in the division and on the evidence of the first game, this may struggle to produce a high-goal output. Under 2.5 goals is at 3/4 odds* (betting odds taken on November 19th, 2018 at 4:37 pm). The Robins are unbeaten in their last three home games, and they have scored at least two goals in four of their last six at Whaddon Road.
Ebbsfleet News and Form
Non-league side Ebbsfleet are still in this but this is one of those occasions where you wonder if they missed their chance on home soil. They are not a team in any kind of winning form. They have won just one of their last five and have collected just the two victories in their last fourteen. It is worth noting though that the National League side have avoided defeat in each of their last five and like Cheltenham, have taken a clean sheet in each of their last three. Their away form across all competitions is W1 D3 L2 in their last five games. Both teams not to score again in this tie is at 10/11 odds* (betting odds taken on November 19th, 2018 at 4:37 pm).
Cheltenham v Ebbsfleet Predictions
