Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Swindon Town play host to Peterborough United at County Ground in what is expected to be an entertaining game. The Robins are fighting hard to secure the League One survival, while the Posh are determined to secure automatic promotion to the Championship. Swindon do not seem to be at their sharpest ahead of Saturday’s clash as they were beaten by both Blackpool and Burton in the previous two league fixtures, which is probably the main reason why home win should not be considered.
Midfielder Ellis Iandolo misses the game through injury. Peterborough played out a 1-1 draw with Sunderland in the League One derby on Monday, but they are surely capable of beating Swindon behind closed doors. The good news for the visitors is that Siriki Dembele has overcome his injury. The Scotland should be recalled to the starting XI after finding the net in the draw with the Black Cats.
