Both teams started the season hesitantly and are still searching for their first victory. Cheltenham are struggling in attack, and their frequent defeats have anchored them at the bottom. Nevertheless, the draw against Salford in the last round brought a breath of fresh air and may provide a starting boost towards more stable results.
Akrington also without a winThe visitors are positioned slightly higher in the table, but their situation is not much different – three draws and two losses since the start of the season. Defensive issues continue to weigh heavily, and away from home, Akrington often looks vulnerable. The history of encounters with Cheltenham is also not in their favor – they have failed to beat this opponent in the last three consecutive matches.
Prediction: 1XThe form of both teams is weak, which makes a draw a completely realistic outcome. Still, the home advantage and tradition in recent direct encounters slightly tilt the scales in favor of Cheltenham. Therefore, my prediction is 1X – the hosts have the strength to at least fight for a point.
