Swindon Town form and stats

Swindon Town have collected 26 points from their League Two home games so far after 7-5-6. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Swindon, their manager Morris and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

The club members are hoping that Swindon Town will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the match against Hartlepool United (placed 23rd). Heartbreak for Swindon in their last match as Hartlepool United's Finney scored the winning goal deep into overtime. Midfielder Williams was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.33 (out of ten) in that game. Williams served one assist and hit one key pass.

Preceding that match was the home game against Stockport County that was lost 0-1.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Swindon Town as they are travelling to their away game against Tranmere Rovers in the League Two. That match is three days after this one.

Swindon Town are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 26 goals in 18 games.

Mansfield Town form and stats

Playing away, Mansfield Town have won 9 games, drawn 3 and suffered 7 defeats in the League Two this season.

Impressive finishing from Kilgour, Clarke and Keillor-Dunn (2) secured the home win 4-1 against Crawley Town in their previous game. That win felt sweet as this team had gone four league matches without victory. Attacker Keillor-Dunn got a player rating of 9.45 in the game. "Man of the match" Keillor-Dunn scored two goals, hit four key passes, dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times and had 29 successful passes (of 36 total).

Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Sutton United.

A quick return to home after this game, as Mansfield are hosting Rochdale in the League Two only three days away.

Mansfield Town have scored 26 goals on their travels this season, from 19 away games in the league. 20 goals have been conceded by Mansfield in these games.
