Match description
Chesterfield averages 1.68 goals per home match, while Cheltenham manages only 1.05 goals away, giving the home side an offensive edge. Defensively the gap is even more pronounced: Cheltenham concedes 2.05 goals on average away, versus Chesterfield conceding 1.16 at home; the home xG is 1.56 compared to 1.13 xG for the visitors and 1.77 xG against Cheltenham on the road. The hosts generate more chances (13.89 shots and 4.37 on target per home match) than the visitors do away (9.7 shots and 3.1 on target), and the percentage of matches without scoring is 16% for Chesterfield versus 25% for Cheltenham. In the last five fixtures Chesterfield have 3 wins and 2 losses (averaging 1.8 points per game), while Cheltenham have 1 win, 3 draws and 1 loss (1.2 points per game), which together with a superior home goal difference (+10) favors the hosts. Based on this I tip a Chesterfield win and estimate probabilities of 65% for Chesterfield, 20% for a draw and 15% for Cheltenham.
