Swindon Town form and stats

The complete League Two stats at home this season for Swindon Town are 7-5-7 (wins-draws-losses). Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Swindon Town with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Rochdale game, 27 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

Swindon are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Tranmere Rovers. Blake-Tracy was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.4 out of 10. The defender Blake-Tracy won 9 of 12 duels.

Preceding that match was the home game against Mansfield Town that was lost 2-4.

This is expected to be a close game, with Swindon Town perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Swindon Town as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Swindon Town has won 6 of these, drawn 2 and lost 5.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Swindon, as the League Two home game vs Bradford City is only three days away.

The Swindon Town fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 28 in 19 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Swindon have conceded 22 in these home matches.

Barrow form and stats

Playing away, Barrow have won 6 games, drawn 4 and suffered 10 defeats in the League Two this season. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Barrow have lost on their last two travels.

Barrow go into this game after a win, the home game against Crawley Town that ended 4-0. As mentioned above, Barrow was the only team on the pitch versus Crawley Town in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task. Gordon certainly enjoyed Barrow's last game versus Crawley Town, appearing multiple times in the match report with three goals and the 4-0 victory. Gordon, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 9.43. Gordon scored three goals and hit one key pass.

A 0-3 defeat away at Crewe Alexandra before that.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 14 similar matches played by Barrow in our archives, and the results are: 3 wins for Barrow, 4 draws and 7 defeats.

Stats flash: 9 of the latest 12 league matches featuring this club have ended with only one (or no) side scoring (Both Teams to Score NO in the betting world).

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Barrow manager Wild as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Grimsby Town.

The attacking power of Barrow when travelling is not overwhelming with 17 goals scored from 20 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. In the opposite end, Barrow have conceded 30 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

Swindon and Barrow have faced each other earlier this season: Barrow - Swindon Town 0-1. H2H stats regardless of arena (last three matches): Swindon Town two wins, zero draws and Barrow one victory. As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two games had two or less.
