Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Swindon Town will look to recover from a heavy 4-0 loss to Colchester United when they take on Fleetwood Town in the League Two round 19. The Robins failed to win the previous seven league fixtures and, as a result, the odds for away victory have been dropping. Ryan Delaney should drop to the bench following his under-par performance in the midweek defeat, with Paul Glatzel likely to step up.
The Cod Army, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 4-2 loss to Doncaster. As Fleetwood experienced all sorts of problems at the back in the last league fixture, away win should not be considered. Taking everything into account, both sides should be happy with one point from Saturday’s encounter. Carl Johnston limped off with injury in the midweek defeat, with Ryan Broom likely to sneak into the starting line-up.
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.
