Swindon Town are welcoming Wigan Athletic for another important game after their 0-1 result against 1st-placed Hull City.
- Swindon Town haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
- Wigan Athletic haven’t played a single 0-0 game away.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a League One match only three days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Hull City.
Swindon Town form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the League One this season. Swindon Town have only managed 4 wins, 1 draw and 8 losses from their games here at The Energy Check County Ground. Three consecutive losses here at The Energy Check County Ground is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.
Swindon haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 231 minutes ago. M. Palmer scored that one.
In their previous game, the manager J. Sheridan led his Swindon to a defeat in the League One match away at Hull City. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at The Energy Check County Ground. Preceding that match was the home game against Plymouth Argyle that was lost 0-2.
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 as a small favourite), we find eleven games. Swindon Town has won five of these, drawn one and lost five.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the League One game versus Shrewsbury Town in only four days. This game is also played here at The Energy Check County Ground.
Swindon Town are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 14 goals in 13 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 22 goals have been conceded.
Wigan Athletic form and stats
There's been little loot from Wigan Athletic's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 11 away games in the League One. Wigan Athletic only have 3 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 2 draws.
W. Keane was the last player to score for the away team. Wigan haven't scored a league goal in the last 193 minutes.
Wigan's previous game was their home loss versus Blackpool (0-5). A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting Fleetwood Town.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Blackpool was particularly ugly (0-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Wigan Athletic playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were one Wigan win, two draws and four defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Wigan Athletic are hosting AFC Wimbledon in the League One only four days away.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Wigan have scored 12 goals in 11 league games away. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. In the opposite end, Wigan Athletic have conceded 19 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last two meetings: zero - zero - two (Swindon wins - draws - Wigan Athletic wins). As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one had two or less.Top Goalscorers
