Swindon Town form and stats

7 victories, 1 draw and 11 defeats. That’s what Swindon Town, who have the fewest clean sheets (4) in League One, have to build on here at The Energy Check County Ground in the League One. The Swindon Town manager J. Sheridan might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Swindon, as their goalkeeper Lee Camp has completely shut out the opponents for 202 minutes in the League One.

A strong away win for Swindon against Bristol Rovers the last match, as Jack Payne were on target. A strong away win before that one, visiting Fleetwood Town and winning 2-0.

The manager J. Sheridan will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Burton Albion in only three days.

Swindon has scored 21 league goals at home this season, in 19 matches. Swindon Town have conceded 30 from these games.

A new game in only three days for Blackpool, the League One home match versus Gillingham. Busy days.
