Swindon team overview
Swindon Town arrive in competitive form as well, having secured away victories over Tranmere and Gillingham in recent weeks, though they have shown some inconsistency with a home defeat to MK Dons and draws against Crawley and Fleetwood. Swindon’s away form has been particularly encouraging over the past couple of weeks, with Ian Holloway’s men recording three wins from their last four away trips and remaining unbeaten in all four.
Aaron Drinan has been the standout performer with 20 league goals, supported by Ollie Palmer and creative contributions from midfield, making Swindon one of the more dangerous attacking teams in the division.
