Cheltenham Town Live Score

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.

Cheltenham Town Current Form

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 4‑1 at home to Colchester United; on April 25, they suffered a heavy 4‑0 away loss at Bristol Rovers; and on April 21, they were beaten 3‑1 at home by Tranmere Rovers. The turnaround began with a 1‑0 home victory over Newport County on April 18, and continued on April 14 when they edged Gillingham 2‑1, also at home. Over these five matches, Cheltenham scored only 5 goals but conceded 12, revealing significant defensive issues. The current two‑match winning streak offers some optimism, but the overall form (W2‑L3) remains underwhelming.

Cheltenham Town Upcoming Matches

The 2026/27 season kicks off with two home fixtures:

• August 8, 2026 – League Cup: Cheltenham Town vs Charlton Athletic (odds: home 4.95, draw 2.72, away 1.57)
• August 15, 2026 – League Two: Cheltenham Town vs Rotherham United (odds: home 2.89, draw 2.41, away 2.31)

Both matches take place at the Completely-Suzuki Stadium, and the odds indicate a tough task, especially against Charlton.

Cheltenham Town Match Predictions: Win Probability

For the first fixture of the season – the League Cup tie against Charlton Athletic – we have calculated the win/draw/loss probabilities based on the published odds. After removing the bookmakers’ overround, the true probabilities are:

• Cheltenham Town win: 16.7%
• Draw: 30.5%
• Charlton Athletic win: 52.8%

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 Cheltenham’s recent defensive record (12 goals conceded in the last five games) supports this assessment. While the back‑to‑back 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.

Cheltenham Town Key Players

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.
