Bristol Rovers form and stats

Last season, Bristol Rovers's EFL Trophy journey ended in the group stage.

The overall League One statistics playing at home this season for Bristol Rovers are 2-2-3 (wins-draws-losses).

Bristol Rovers are returning here after visiting Cheltenham Town and winning with a 4-1 scoreline. Evans, Collins (2) and Thomas scored the goal(s). Collins, who usually plays near the opponent's goal, was the top performer for the team in that fixture, collecting a rating of 8.83 (out of 10). Collins scored two goals, served one assist, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Milton Keynes Dons and winning 1-0.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Plymouth Argyle are coming to town in four days.

Bristol Rovers are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 7 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 13 goals have been conceded.

Swindon Town form and stats

They also participated in EFL Trophy last season. This ended in the 2nd round.

2 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Swindon Town playing as the away team in the League Two this season.

Shade scored in Swindon's previous match, the home game against Colchester United that ended 1-0. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager Lindsey when Shade scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 57th minute. Brynn (goalkeeper) was the best performer with a rating of 7.41. Brynn topped it up with a clean sheet.

It was a League Two defeat before that one as the away game against Stevenage wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Swindon Town when being an outsider away as they are today, we find 4 matches with the visitors losing 1 time, drawing 1 and winning 2 games.

After this away game Swindon Town return home for a League Two game against Hartlepool United. That game is only four sleeps after this.

The attacking power of Swindon Town when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 7 league matches away. 8 goals have been conceded by Swindon Town in these games.

Head 2 Head

Swindon Town have won or drawn the last 4 games (3-1-0) facing Bristol.
