Cheltenham Town
Cheltenham Town stats and predictions are essential for fans and bettors looking ahead to the 2026/27 season. The Robins, founded in 1887 and based at the Completely-Suzuki Stadium in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, ended the 2025/26 campaign with a mixed set of results, and now face a challenging opening in the League Cup.
The team's last five results (all in League Two) show a clear pattern: three consecutive defeats followed by two morale-boosting wins. On May 2, 2026, they lost 4โ1 at home to Colchester United; on April 25, they suffered a heavy 4โ0 away loss at Bristol Rovers; and on April 21, they were beaten 3โ1 at home by Tranmere Rovers. The turnaround began with a 1โ0 home victory over Newport County on April 18, and continued on April 14 when they edged Gillingham 2โ1, also at home. Over these five matches, Cheltenham scored only 5 goals but conceded 12, revealing significant defensive issues. The current twoโmatch winning streak offers some optimism, but the overall form (W2โL3) remains underwhelming.
The 2026/27 season kicks off with two home fixtures:
Both matches take place at the Completely-Suzuki Stadium, and the odds indicate a tough task, especially against Charlton.
For the first fixture of the season โ the League Cup tie against Charlton Athletic โ we have calculated the win/draw/loss probabilities based on the published odds. After removing the bookmakersโ overround, the true probabilities are:
Rounding these figures, the Robins have roughly a 17% chance of winning, a 30% likelihood of a stalemate, and a 53% probability of losing. The odds heavily favour the away side, and Cheltenhamโs recent defensive record (12 goals conceded in the last five games) supports this assessment. While the backโtoโback wins in April hint at a possible improvement, the step up in quality against a League One outfit makes an upset unlikely. In its current form, Cheltenham Town win around 17% of matches of this calibre, so expectations should be tempered for this opener.
Among the squad, attacker J. Bickerstaff stands out with 4 goals in 44 appearances. M. Faal has contributed 1 goal in 7 appearances, while other forwards T. King and S. Obieri are yet to find the net this campaign. These players will be crucial if Cheltenham are to improve their goalscoring record.
