Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Burton Albion will be aiming to put an end to their four-match winless run in the League One when they take on Swindon Town at Pirelli Stadium. The Brewers are six points clear of the relegation zone, meaning that their League One status is in danger. The good news for the hosts, though, is that Josh Parker returns from international duty.
The Robins, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Blackpool. Swindon are desperate to escape the danger zone as well, and seeing that the visitors will go for a win in Monday’s clash as well, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Both Mathieu Baudry and Ezekiel Fryers are sidelined through injuries, while Jonathan Grounds is a major doubt, and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Highlighted Player (Ryan Edwards):
Despite being born in Singapore on November 17, 1993, Ryan Edwards is eligible to represent Australia in international matches. The 175-cm-tall midfielder has 18 caps with Australia U-23 and it has to be noted that he played for the Socceroos at the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup. Speaking of his club career, Edwards is a product of AIS, the high performance sports training institution from Australia, but in 2011 he was spotted by Reading scouts.
Ryan Edwards played for the Royals at senior level, making seven appearances for the club in the league. The Australian international whore Perth Glory (loan), St. Mirren (loan), Partick Thistle and Heart of Midlothian shirts as well before signing a deal with Burton Albion in 2019.
He made his debut with the Brewers in the League One on August 3, 2019 in a 1-0 loss to Ipswich Town. His main position is attacking midfielder, but he is capable of producing fine performances at both central and right midfield as well.
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.
