We said: Stevenage 0-2 Cheltenham Town

 A quick glance at the league table would suggest that Stevenage, at home, should be firm favourites for this match, but strange things can happen on the final day, and Cheltenham's needs are far greater than that of their hosts. The Robins have won two of their last three - including a huge win over promotion-chasing Peterborough in midweek - and so should be full of belief heading into this match, despite matters being firmly out of their hands. Stevenage have only won one of their last 11 games and have nothing to fight for, so we are expecting the visitors to hold up their end of the bargain in their bid to pull off one of the greatest escapes in EFL history. Whether it will be enough will depend on results elsewhere. Read more.
