Swindon Town form and stats

Swindon Town have collected 13 points from their League One home games so far after 4-1-7. The Swindon manager J. Sheridan might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

Swindon Town shared the glory with Charlton Athletic in their last match, an away game that ended all square 2-2. Preceding that match was the home game against Doncaster Rovers that was lost 1-2.

A disappointing finish for Swindon in their match versus Charlton Athletic as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score. The Swindon Town goalkeeper Mark Travers was crucial in the match against Charlton Athletic last time out, making six saves.

This is expected to be a close game, with Swindon Town perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Swindon Town as a small favourite), we find eleven games. Swindon Town has won five of these, drawn one and lost five.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Swindon as they are travelling to their away game against Hull City in the League One. That match is four days after this one.

Swindon are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 14 goals in 12 games. Swindon Town have conceded 20 from these games.

Plymouth Argyle form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Plymouth Argyle, who have the fewest points (6) away in League One, so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-6 (win-draw-lose).

Plymouth lost away at Sheffield United (1-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Prior to that result Plymouth won their away game at Sunderland in the League One. The scoreline was 2-1.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 21 similar matches played by Plymouth Argyle in our archives, and the results are: five wins for Plymouth Argyle, five draws and eleven defeats.

After this away game Plymouth return home for a League One game against Accrington Stanley. That game is only four sleeps after this.

Plymouth find the net regularly in their away games. 11 goals from 10 away fixtures in the league. Plymouth have conceded 22 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head
