There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Sunderland leading Swindon Town by 20 points.
- Sunderland have the fewest conceded goals in the second half (10) in League One
- Swindon Town have the fewest clean sheets (2) in League One
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Sunderland and Swindon Town.
Sunderland form and stats
6-5-4 (win-draw-lost) are the League One numbers at home for Sunderland so far this season. Sunderland has recorded two wins in a row here at Stadium of Light, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.
An away draw last time out for Sunderland, facing Crewe Alexandra in a game that ended 2-2. Ahead of that match, Sunderland won a home game hosting Fleetwood Town (2-0).
There was plenty of action in the dying minutes of the game against Crewe Alexandra as Chris Maguire's goal in the 90th minute completed a cancellation of 0-2 and secured a draw after 90 minutes. Chris Maguire was able to secure the draw 2-2 in the game against Crewe Alexandra after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?
The match schedule is unforgiving for Sunderland as they have a new game in only four days, a League One match thankfully also at home. Rochdale are visiting.
Sunderland are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 20 goals in 15 games. Sunderland have conceded 16 in these home matches.
Swindon Town form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Swindon Town, who have the fewest clean sheets (2) in League One, so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-9 (win-draw-lose).
Swindon had fun at their own home (Stadium of Light) last time out, beating Northampton Town 2-1. Scott Twine and Brett Pitman scored. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Lincoln City that ended 2-2.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Swindon manager J. Sheridan as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Accrington Stanley.
Swindon have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 14 league away games 19 goals have been scored. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. For Swindon, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
