With the tense opening match done it’s time for the second League Two clash of the season. Swindon Town eagerly anticipate Salford City in front of their home following.
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
The previous season, Swindon Town's league results were 22 wins, 11 draws and 13 losses, ending with 6th place in the League Two. During these 46 matches they scored 77 goals and conceded 54. Appearing as the home team in the last season Swindon Town managed 9-7-7 (win-draw-lost) with 35 goals and 25 conceded.
Swindon haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 202 minutes ago. McKirdy scored that one.
Swindon Town are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-3 away versus Harrogate Town. Defender MacDonald got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.05/10. MacDonald won 10 of 12 duels.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Port Vale (after extra-time, 6-5 on penalties) (0-1).The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Swindon Town handle that role? We have found 12 games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are 4 wins, 5 draws and 3 defeats.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Swindon as they are travelling to their away game against Walsall in the Carabao Cup. That match is three days after this one.
Salford City form and stats
Let's have a look at how Salford City performed last season in the League Two: They landed a 10th position in the league table after playing out 19 victories, 13 draws and 14 defeats. In total they scored 60 and conceded 46 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 9 - drew 4 and lost 10 with 27/25 goals scored/conceded.
Hendry and Thomas-Asante scored in Salford City's previous match, the home game against Mansfield Town that ended 2-0. Defender Nartey was the best team player with a rating of 8.12. Nartey won 12 of 15 duels.
A 2-4 defeat away at Stevenage before that.Salford are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats. From a total of 7 matches.
Salford City have another match that requires travelling in just three sleeps, a Carabao Cup match versus Bolton Wanderers. A hard programme for the visitors!
