Bristol Rovers and Cheltenham Town will kick off their England Football League Trophy campaign this Tuesday night with a battle at the Memorial Stadium with Newport County and West Ham United U21s also sitting in Group P. Bristol Rovers come into this match following a 1-1 draw at home to Lincoln City, while the visitors suffered a 2-0 loss to Barnsley in League One over the weekend. The hosts draw against Lincoln City over the weekend extended their recent run to three league games without a win, leaving them in 17th place after six matches, which is also the same position they ended last season. On the other hand, Cheltenham fell to 16th last season from 15th in the previous campaign, finishing on 54 points after 46 matches, which was two points fewer than the tally they managed in the 2021-22 season. They lost 2-0 in their last outing against Barnsley, and are currently seated at the bottom of the League One table. For this encounter, I am expecting a win for Bristol Rovers for the following reasons:

Firstly. Bristol Rovers successfully navigated their way through their first season back in League One last term by securing 53 points, with a record of 14 wins, 11 draws and 21 losses in their 46 matches. But, it has been a tough season for Bristol so far with the club racking up only one win and two draws from the six games. This has seen them let in eight and score only six of their own with the sole victory coming three weeks ago away to Charlton Athletic. Bristol Rovers reached the quarter-final in this competition last season before Plymouth Argyle beat them, and they will be relatively confident of getting their cup campaign started on a winning note, having beaten this opposition in their last three encounters.

Secondly. This season has been something of a nightmare so far for Cheltenham as they come into this fixture off the back of their fifth league loss in six matches and rooted to the bottom of the table. They were also beaten in round one of the Carabao Cup by Birmingham City last month and have only managed one draw result to date, which came against Portsmouth a couple of weeks ago. While there are several issues that could be pointed out in their first seven matches this season, the undoubted biggest problem for the visitors has been their lack of goals, as they have not found the net in over 600 minutes of football.

Cheltenham are certainly not in a good place at the moment. They have been very poor this season, and their lack of attacking strength has been evident up to this point. While Bristol Rovers have not been incredible themselves, they have found the net more often than not this season. And I fancy them to be able to get a win tonight against Cheltenham.

布里斯托尔流浪者和切尔滕纳姆镇将于周二晚上在纪念体育场打响他们的英格兰足球联赛奖杯之战，纽波特郡和西汉姆联队u21也被分在p组。布里斯托尔流浪者在主场1-1战平林肯城之后进入这场比赛，而客队在上周末的联赛中0 - 2负于巴恩斯利。在周末主场战平林肯城之后，他们已经连续三场联赛未胜，在六场比赛后排名第17位，这和他们上赛季结束时的位置一样。另一方面，切尔滕纳姆从上赛季的第15位跌至上赛季的第16位，在46场比赛后仅获得54分，比他们在2021-22赛季的总积分少了2分。他们在上一场对巴恩斯利的比赛中0比2输掉了比赛，目前在英甲积分榜上排名垫底。对于这场比赛，我希望布里斯托尔流浪者能取得胜利，原因如下:

首先。布里斯托尔流浪者队上赛季以46场14胜11平21负的战绩，成功地度过了他们重返英甲的第一个赛季。但是，这对布里斯托尔来说是一个艰难的赛季，俱乐部在六场比赛中只取得了一胜两平。他们丢了8个球，只进了6个球，唯一的一场胜利是三周前客场对查尔顿竞技的比赛。布里斯托尔流浪者上赛季在普利茅斯阿盖尔击败他们之前进入了这项赛事的四分之一决赛，他们将相对有信心以胜利开始他们的杯赛之旅，在过去的三次交锋中击败了对手。

其次。这个赛季对于切尔滕纳姆来说是一场噩梦，他们在六场联赛中输掉了第五场比赛，并且在积分榜上垫底。他们在上个月的卡拉宝杯第一轮中也被伯明翰击败，迄今为止只取得了一场平局，那就是几周前对阵朴茨茅斯的比赛。虽然在本赛季的前七场比赛中有几个问题可以指出，但毫无疑问，客队最大的问题是他们缺乏进球，因为他们在600多分钟的比赛中没有找到进球。

切尔滕纳姆现在的状态肯定不是很好。他们本赛季表现很差，进攻力量的缺乏在这一点上已经很明显了。虽然布里斯托尔流浪者的表现并不令人难以置信，但他们本赛季进球的次数却更多。我想他们今晚能战胜切尔滕纳姆队。
