Cheltenham Town, unbeaten in the league so far this season, travel to Rotherham this weekend in yet another tough away encounter but the Robins' good form means that there is plenty of value to be found when betting with Coral writes James Brown.

The Robins were playing at the Don Valley Stadium back in April in what proved to be an important day in the survival race. Cheltenham drew 0-0 with Rotherham despite a strong Millers display and a point this weekend would be another good result.
Both sides have made a decent start to the season and both will be cautious of eachother's attacking prowess so with that in mind, it may be worth taking a look at the prices you can get for a score draw. A 2-2 scoreline at the price of 14/1 is a decent shout with both teams confident in front of goal. However, if you're in a confident mood ahead of this weekend and you can see a win on the horizon for Cheltenham Town then a 1-0 victory at 9/1 is a good shout.
Wesley Thomas is the man of the moment for Cheltenham at the moment and a brace against Crewe last weekend will have only made the former Dagenham striker more confident ahead of this weekend. It makes sense to back Wes to be first goalscorer on Saturday and at the price of 8/1, it makes even more sense.
However, if you feel it's about time a member of the Cheltenham back line got on the scoresheet then I can highly recommend having a gamble on Steve Elliott who is available at 10/1 to score at any point during the game.
Time to stick my neck on the line! If you are feeling really confident and you don't mind spending one of your finest English pounds, then my tip for this weekend is a 2-1 victory for the Robins with Junior Smikle as the first goal scorer. You'll get 125/1 for that bet and it's well worth a pound in my opinion.
