Accrington ST vs Cheltenham Prediction

Accrington Stanley host Cheltenham on 3 October 2026 at 17:00 in League Two, with the visitors arriving as clear favourites after six matches unbeaten. Accrington have stalled, taking one win from their last ten games and drawing 1-1 with Swindon most recently. Midfielder Aidan Borland is away on international duty, a notable absence for the home side. Cheltenham beat Chesterfield 2-1 last weekend and have scored in every one of their last ten matches, averaging 1.90 goals per game across that run. Pierce Sweeney picked up a knock in that victory but George Miller is ready to deputise if needed.

Form and H2H

Accrington have taken 1.40 points per game at home across their last five matches, a modest return that masks their defensive vulnerability. They concede 1.90 goals per game in that span. Cheltenham's away form is sharper: they average 1.90 goals scored and 1.70 conceded across their last ten matches, with four wins and four draws from their last ten on the road. Head-to-head records from 2012 to 2015 show Accrington won twice and Cheltenham once, with three draws, but recent momentum sits firmly with the visitors.

Best Bet

Accrington 1 - 3 Cheltenham is the main selection. Cheltenham's prolific away form and Accrington's leaky defence at home create the conditions for a comfortable away win. Both teams have scored in Cheltenham's last ten games, and Accrington's home record suggests they will concede multiple goals despite their stubborn points-per-game average.
