Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Notts County will be aiming to keep their League Two playoffs hopes alive when they take on Swindon Town at County Ground on Friday afternoon. The Magpies are eight points behind top seven, meaning that this has to go down as a must-win game for the visiting side. Keep in mind, though, that experienced attacker David McGoldrick remains in the recovery room, but Aden Baldwin is back from suspension.
The Robins, on the other hand, are safe for now and they have little to play for in the season finale. Given the importance of Friday’s clash for the visitors, away win should be considered. As for the home side, Reece Devine misses out with injury, while experienced forward Charlie Austin should be recalled to the starting line-up. In the first half of the season Notts County defeated Swindon Town 3-1 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
Highlighted Team (Swindon):
Founded by Reverend William Pitt of Liddington in 1879, Swindon Town are an English football club which compete in the League Two. The Robins welcome their rivals at County Ground, the stadium which can hold up to 15,728 spectators (all-seated), with the team wearing red shirts and white shorts when playing at home.
Gray is the dominant colour of the club which turned professional in 1894. Oxford United are considered the team’s main rivals, but the Robins have rivalries with Bristol City, Bristol Rovers, and Reading as well. In 1969 Swindon Town did remarkably well to win the English League Cup, with the team beating Arsenal 3-1 in the title game at Wembley Stadium.
John Trollope is the club’s player with most appearances as he played 889 first-team games from 1960 to 1980. Premier League attacker Charlie Austin is one of the most notable footballers who played for Swindon Town in the past.
