The visiting Swindon Town side should be favourites in this visit to Stevenage, as the away team holds a 47 point advantage from their 36 league games this season.

Stevenage form and stats

Stevenage's struggle is real here at The Lamex Stadium with only 12 points collected from 17 League Two games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-6-9. Problems are piling up for Stevenage as they are struggling in their away games as well, taking their total losing streak to a running total of eight games. This streak could be one for the history books. With nine home League Two games in a row without a win, the Stevenage fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Morecambe game long ago, can be stopped today.

The fans are hoping that Stevenage will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-3 away loss in the League Two game against Crewe Alexandra (placed 1st). A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Crawley Town.

Stevenage's goalkeeper Paul Farman was extremely busy against Crewe Alexandra, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning six saves.

Stevenage aren't scoring a lot here at The Lamex Stadium in the league, with only 10 goals from 17 games. Stevenage's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 22 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
