Swindon Town form and stats

Overall League Two stats at home this season for Swindon Town are 3-1-3 (wins-draw-losses).

In their previous game, the manager R. Wellens led his Swindon Town to a defeat in the League Two match away at Crewe Alexandra. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at County Ground. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Plymouth Argyle that ended 1-1.

A disaster for the home team in their last match (vs Crewe Alexandra) as a comfortable lead 1-0 was completely ruined into a loss 1-3.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Swindon Town matches with similar probabilities have ended with 1 win, 1 draw and 2 defeats (from four games).

Swindon Town are traveling soon after this match as the League Two match at Crawley Town awaits in four days.

The Swindon Town fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 7 matches. Swindon Town's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 10 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Stevenage form and stats

Stevenage, who have the fewest scored goals (4) away in League Two, have only collected 4 points from their away games in the League Two, after 0-4-3 (7 played).

Stevenage are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at Port Vale (placed 16th). That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Grimsby Town.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Stevenage playing away, we found one game. Results were 1 away win, 0 draws and 0 home wins.

A new game in only four days for Stevenage, the League Two home match versus Morecambe. Busy days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Stevenage as they have only managed to score 4 times from 7 away games in the league. 10 goals have been conceded by Stevenage in these games.
