Swindon Town form and stats

Swindon Town's results here at The Energy Check County Ground in the League Two have been very modest with 1 victory, 3 draws and 2 defeats. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

Happy days for Swindon Town in their previous game, a League Two match away at Sutton United (placed 8th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. Midfield player Louis Reed got a match rating of 7.64 in that game, the max score being 10. Reed scored one goal.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Rochdale that ended 2-2.

This is expected to be a close game, with Swindon Town perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Swindon Town as a small favourite), we find ten games. Swindon has won four of these, drawn one and lost five.

Swindon aren't scoring a lot here at The Energy Check County Ground in the league, with only 5 goals from 6 games. On the other hand, Swindon Town have conceded 6 goals.

Bradford City form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Bradford City so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-3 (win-draw-lose).

Bradford City failed to get anything from their last game, a League Two home match vs Hartlepool United (placed 9th) that ended with defeat 1-3. Paudie O’Connor, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.82. O’Connor scored one goal and won 13 of 20 duels.

A draw for Bradford before that, at their own venue hosting Bristol Rovers (2-2).

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Bradford City playing away and similar expectations, we found 17 relevant matches. Results were two Bradford wins, four draws and eleven defeats.

The visitors have scored 4 goals from 6 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. 7 goals have been conceded by Bradford in these games.
