Rovers Made Favourites by the Bookies

The bookmakers have Bristol Rovers at -139 when it comes to 1x2. This suggests that the favourites have a 58% chance of winning this League Two clash based on the betting odds. Cheltenham Town are the outsiders at +350 which suggests a lower likelihood of winning.

Taking Rovers -0.75 against Cheltenham means a full Asian Handicap payout at -112 if they win by 2+ goals. The second prize is a half-stake payout and half-stake refund if they win by one.

The Total Goals market always provides an interesting angle and Under 2.5 Goals is the shortest-priced option. On the Both Teams to Score market, there isn’t much between the BTTS Yes and No options in terms of price.

If you’re betting on League Two matches, we recommend heading to the top football betting sites and scanning through the hundreds of markets. There’s a chance to bet pre-match and In-Play.
