  • Swindon Town have the most scored goals in the second half (23) in League Two

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a League Two game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at Leyton Orient. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
