Swindon Town and AFC Wimbledon have delivered a "par" performance until now, to use a golf expression. Both teams reside in mid-table positions in the League Two.

Insights:
  • Swindon Town have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • AFC Wimbledon have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Swindon Town form and stats

Swindon Town have collected 18 points from their League Two home games so far after 5-3-2.

Stress levels are on the rise for Swindon Town's attacking players as they have now played 240 minutes without scoring in a league game. Wakeling was their last goal scorer.

In their previous game, the manager Lindsey led his Swindon Town to a defeat away at Crawley Town. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at The County Ground. Defender Clayton got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.15/10. Clayton won 2 of 2 duels.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Crewe Alexandra (0-1).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Swindon have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 13 games) they have won 5 times, drawn 5 and lost 3.

The Swindon Town fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 10 matches. Swindon Town are not conceding a lot of goals here at The County Ground in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 8 from 10 matches.

AFC Wimbledon form and stats

3-3-4 is the win-draw-loss statistic for AFC Wimbledon in their League Two matches away.

385 minutes! That's how long the Wimbledon goalkeeper Nik Tzanev and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

AFC Wimbledon won their last game, 1-0 versus Grimsby Town played at home. Defender Currie was the best team player with a rating of 8.05. Currie hit one key pass and won 14 of 15 duels.

The fixture before that was the FA Cup-duel against Chesterfield, a home loss (0-2). We have checked recent matches where Wimbledon have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 14 games were 3 victories, 6 draws and 5 defeats.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The EFL Trophy trip to Plymouth Argyle.

AFC Wimbledon have scored 12 goals on their travels this season, from 10 away games in the league. AFC Wimbledon have conceded 14 goals in these away matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
