Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Swindon Town will be aiming to recover from a 1-0 loss to Bradford City when they face Grimsby Town in the League Two round 21. The Robins defeated Fleetwood 3-1 in their last home game, which is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of the visit of Grimsby. Kabongo Tshimanga is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while there are no fresh injury concerns in the home team.
The Mariners, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Crewe. As Grimsby had no more than one shot on target against the Railwaymen, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from Saturday’s encounter. Last time out Swindon defeated Grimsby 2-1 at County Ground, which goes in favour of our earlier prediction. Trinidad & Tobago midfielder Justin Obikwu is rated doubtful for the visiting side after limping off with injury at the weekend.
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.
