Cheltenham vs Leicester prediction
After a woeful start to the campaign and in danger of falling out of the EFL, Cheltenham Town have been much-improved since the appointment of the experienced Steve Cotterill. The Robins head into this one on the back of a 3-0 hammering of Crawley Town, courtesy of goals from Hakeeb Adelakun, Jordan Thomas and Robbie Cundy.
They now face a Leicester City side that, following their relegation from the Premier League, have endured a miserable campaign thus far. The Foxes have been able to stumble to some home wins of late against fellow midlanders Derby County and West Bromwich Albion but they sit firmly in the middle-of-the-table.
Cheltenham will make things extremely awkward for Leicester and, even if Leicester find some fluency and do get themselves a win, it is not likely to be a pretty victory.
Cheltenham vs Leicester tip: Leicester to win & under 3.5 goals
