Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Swindon Town play host to Tranmere Rovers at their County Ground in the League Two round 29. The Robins aim to recover from back-to-back losses to Barrow and Newport and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Rovers. January signing Joe Westley is widely expected to return to the starting XI after scoring the winner as a substitute at the weekend. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Tranmere, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Gillingham. The visitors have been struggling defensively of late and given Swindon’s signs of improvement, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from Tuesday’s clash. In their last meeting at the venue, Swindon defeated Tranmere 3-1 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Defender Declan Drysdale is back from suspension for the visiting team.
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.
