Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Barrow will be aiming to make amends for the EFL Trophy loss to Bolton when they take on Swindon Town in the League Two round 5. The Bluebirds are eyeing their fourth win of the season and they are seen as favourites to win Saturday’s clash. Talented forward Katia Kouyate has overcome his injury, but fellow attacker Emile Acquah remains in the recovery room.
The Robins, on the other hand, are determined to put an end to their six-game winless run in all competitions. Swindon Town are eyeing their first win of the process, but beating Barrow on the road is easier said than done. All Harry Smith, Joel Cotterill, and Jeff King return to the starting XI after the trio was rested in the EFL trophy loss to Exeter on Tuesday evening. Anyhow, home win should be considered as Swindon Town made a slow start to the season.
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.
