Cheltenham Town Team News
This is Cheltenham’s second season in the English League One (3rd tier) since their promotion in 2021. Last season they stay in the league comfortably with a 15th-place finish, but this season the situation is more complex.
Before the season started, they lose their manager and a couple of good players. Because of that, they are much weaker than last season and after 26 rounds they are 18th in the table with 28 points and eight wins.
That results are not bad, but Cheltenham is only four points above the relegation zone. Wade Elliot’s side is in the run of four consecutive defeats in League One and in the last seven games they have six defeats.
They are in one of the worst forms in the league and only Cambridge United has won fewer points than them since the start of December.
Cheltenham has problems with the attack. Their top scorer from the last season Alfie May missed 10 games due to injury and even with injury problems he scored nine goals. But Cheltenham is struggling and with 23 goals scored they have the worst attack in the league. May contributed to 11 of 23 Cheltenham’s goals.
They failed to score in nine games this season, but only three at home.
In the last couple of weeks, Cheltenham has had amazing results. In their last five games in all competitions, we saw 21 goals, which is 4.2 per game. They scored in every game but also conceded in every game. In the last four league games they conceded two or more goals in every game.
Sheffield Wednesday Team News
The fans are hoping that this season will be the one when Sheffield Wednesday will finally promote from this league. They are stuck in this league for the second season. Last season they finished 4th and later lost in the playoffs.
Now, they want to go a step further and fight for the first two places which give you an automatic promotion to the Championship.
Sheffield is currently 2nd in the table with 58 points and 17 wins after 27 rounds. They are three points behind Plymouth with a game in hand.
Sheffield is in amazing form. They have six consecutive wins in all competitions and in that run, they beat Newcastle United in the FA Cup. They are 12 games without a defeat in all competitions and 15 games without a defeat in the league! They suffered only one defeat in all competitions since the start of October and it was in the Carabao Cup against Southampton after penalties.
With Darren Moore, Sheffield plays fantastic this season. After these games against Cheltenham, they will have two games that could define their season. They will play against Plymouth and Ipswich, teams in 1st and 3rd place.
Sheffield is in the best form in the league, they have the third-best attack in the league with 47 goals scored and they failed to score in only four games. They have the best defensive record in the league with only 18 goals conceded and they have the most clean sheets in the league with 16.

Cheltenham Town vs Sheffield Wednesday Prediction
Sheffield Wednesday is a huge favourite here and it will not be good for them to drop points against Cheltenham before the two very important games against Ipswich and Plymouth.
They are one of the best teams in the league and they are flying right now. Cheltenham, on the other hand, is struggling. They are in a series of consecutive defeats and the situation is difficult for that, but they are still above the relegation zone, which is positive.
We think that Sheffield will win this one.
