Swindon Town form and stats

When playing at home in the League Two, Swindon Town have managed 6 wins, 7 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 18 games.

A nice win for Swindon Town last time playing, versus Oldham Athletic. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0 with Conroy scoring for the victors. Conroy was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.93 out of 10. The defender Conroy scored one goal and won 8 of 10 duels.

Prior to that, an away loss at Exeter City.

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 eleven games. Swindon Town has won four of these, drawn one and lost six.

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

A decent goal production from Swindon Town in their home games so far, with 28 goals from 18 league matches. 19 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eight similar matches played by Sutton United in our archives, and the results are: one win for Sutton United, two draws and five defeats.

After this away game Sutton return home for a League Two game against Tranmere Rovers. That game is only four sleeps after this.
