Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Following a 2-2 draw with Accrington, Swindon Town will look to get back on course in the League Two when they face Morecambe on Matchday 17. The Robins are desperate to escape the danger zone and we are positive they will go all guns blazing at the Shrimps on Saturday afternoon. A man to watch in the home team will be Harry Smith, who has been scoring goals for fun of late. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The visitors, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom of the table with only ten points on their account. As Morecambe failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Port Vale at the weekend, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Saturday’s relegation six-pointer. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the away side, midfielder Harvey Macadam could sneak into the starting eleven for the first time since October 26 and the match against Chesterfield.
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.
