Cheltenham Town host Sheffield Wednesday at Whaddon Road on Wednesday (March 29) in League One. The hosts have had their struggles this season but have found good form recently and look set to avoid the drop. Cheltenham beat Exeter City 3-1 in their last league outing.
Three players got on the scoresheet, including Aidan Keena, who scored his first goal for the club. Cheltenham are 17th in the standings with 43 points. Sheffield, meanwhile, have enjoyed a strong campaign and have their sights set on a return to the Championship despite their recent struggles.
They suffered a shock 1-0 defeat to last-placed Forest Green Rovers last time out. Sheffield would have no complaints after an uncharacteristic showing in the final third. The visitors are second in the league table with 78 points from 34 games.

Cheltenham vs Sheffield Wednesday Team News
With a week-and-a-half to prepare for this contest, Elliott may look to start with the same Cheltenham XI from the triumph over Exeter.
Although central midfielder Taylor Perry was introduced as a half-time substitute in that game, Ryan Jackson is likely to retain his spot at right wing-back.
Luton Town loanee Glen Rea is an option in the middle of the pitch if Elliott wishes to add more experience in that area.
Moore will almost certainly shake up his Sheffield Wednesday starting lineup with Will Vaulks among the players in line for recalls.
Jaden Brown could be given a run out at left wing-back, while Jack Hunt may replace Dominic Iorfa, being used in a back three or at wing-back.
Cheltenham vs Sheffield Wednesday Lineups
Cheltenham Town:
Southwood; Long, Taylor, Bradbury; Jackson, Sercombe, Bonds, Ferry; Broom; Keena, May
Sheffield Wednesday:

Cheltenham vs Sheffield Wednesday Odds
We say: Cheltenham Town 1-2 Sheffield Wednesday
Despite the difference in league positions, everything points to this being a highly competitive fixture where it is difficult to call a win. However, the feeling is that Wednesday will have to bounce back at some stage, and Moore’s men may battle their way to three points here.
