There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Swindon Town leading Oldham Athletic by 19 points.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match.
