Swindon Town form and stats

Playing away, Swindon Town have won 5 games, drawn 4 and suffered 6 defeats in the League Two this season. Recent form does not give Swindon Town much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Salford City will be a tough nut to crack.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Swindon Town, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-2 versus Sutton United (placed 10th). Brennan, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.34. Brennan won 4 of 5 duels.

A loss against Doncaster Rovers was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Swindon Town have scored 16 goals in 15 league games away. 19 goals have been conceded by Swindon in these games.
