Swindon Town are welcoming Bristol Rovers for another important game after their 0-3 result against 10th-placed Accrington Stanley.
It's no vacation for neither Swindon nor Bristol Rovers as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Swindon Town form and stats
The story so far in the League One for Swindon Town, who have the most conceded goals (24) in League One, at their home stadium (The Energy Check County Ground) is 3 wins, 0 draws and 3 defeats.
Swindon Town's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-3 versus Accrington Stanley (placed 10th). A 3-3 draw away before that, with Shrewsbury Town the opponent.
Swindon lost the game against Accrington Stanley in the first half with a 0-3 deficit and could never come back from that. Swindon's goalkeeper Joe Fryer was extremely busy against Accrington Stanley, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning six saves.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Swindon have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found twelve matches with the results: Won six, drawn one and lost five.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Swindon as they have a new game in only three days, a League One match thankfully also at home. Lincoln City are visiting.
A decent goal production from Swindon in their home games so far, with 9 goals from 6 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 10 goals have been conceded.
Bristol Rovers form and stats
Playing away, Bristol Rovers have won 2 games, drawn 2 and suffered 1 defeat in the League One this season.
Bristol Rovers won their last game, 4-3 versus Chelsea U21 played at home. The game before that, in the League One, was lost at home, a 1-4 defeat against Fleetwood Town.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Chelsea U21 was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Bristol Rovers playing away and similar expectations, we found 15 relevant matches. Results were six Bristol Rovers wins, eight draws and one defeat.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The League One trip to Wigan Athletic.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Bristol have scored 6 goals in 5 league games away. 7 goals have been conceded by Bristol Rovers in these games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Swindon, two draws and six wins for Bristol Rovers. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.Top Goalscorers
