History of the Brighton & Hove Albion v Cheltenham Town fixture

Brighton & HA prepare to entertain Cheltenham Town at Withdean Stadium on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The majority of those games have been won by the Seagulls.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Withdean Stadium was less than a year ago, in February 2008, the Seagulls carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a League One match.
