Venue: Glanford Park (9088 seats)

The League Two league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. These two teams are placed 24th and 21st respectively.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Carabao Cup. That game was also an away game, at Rochdale. 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.
