Recent respective form guides
Cheltenham Town's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Robins have scored 4, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.
Port Vale's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The games have constituted a decent return of 10 goals for the Valiants, and 8 goals against.
Cheltenham T. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 34 points from 35 matches. Port Vale's 52 points from 36 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.
