Cheltenham Town, Recent FormCheltenham Town will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-0 home win against Shrewsbury Town.
It seems pretty certain that Darrell Clarke will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 8 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 5 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. This season they have failed to score in 11 of their 22 games, and of the 11 games they have played at home, they've conceded at least one goal on 8 occasions.
Having managed to remain undefeated in 5 of their last 6 home matches at The Completely-Suzuki Stadium, they have put together a strong home record of late, winning 3 of these games too.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Cheltenham Town, Will Goodwin will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Reading, Recent FormA 2-2 draw against Peterborough United will be viewed as a positive outcome for Reading and a valuable point into the bargain.
While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 8 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 11 games in a row, but they've conceded a goal in each of their last 25 games away from home.
There will be mixed feelings from The Royals, having been undefeated in their last 3 away league games, but drawn the last 2 of these games.
Harvey Knibbs will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Reading.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 1-0 win for Reading.
With no real injury worries, Cheltenham manager Darrell Clarke will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
There is only really one injury concern for the Reading manager Rubén Sellés ahead of this clash, with Harlee Dean (Muscle) missing out, which gives Sellés a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
