There is some midweek action from League Two on the way and it should be a great battle as well. Accrington and Swindon are both in decent form and are pushing to lock down at least a play off spot this season in the division. That means there are a big three points up for grabs between the two and Stanley go into the game holding just a one-point advantage over the Robins.

Accrington
SwindonAccrington Form
Five wins in their last six league games has seen Accrington really get their promotion act together. All of that came after a massive dip of form in a four-match losing streak that they were on. But they are back firing again and they are on a three-match winning streak at home as well, scoring at least three goals in each of those games. They battled back from 2-0 down after 38 minutes of action against Stevenage on the weekend to win 3-2 and that’s the power that they have at the moment. They have scored at least two goals in five of their last six league outings and over 2.5 goals looks a pretty solid wager for the game. Overall their record at home this season reads W9 D2 L3 which is excellent. They don’t want to lose ground against a fellow-top seven side.
Swindon Form
Swindon have been going so well lately with a W4 D1 L1 record in their last six. They held out for a point in a tough away game at Lincoln on the weekend and that leaves them unbeaten in their last three now. Away from home, they are W3 D1 L1 and they have the best away record in the entire division this season with them having gone W10 D1 L4 which is a pretty spectacular away record. There are sides who wish they had that kind of record at home. The Robins haven’t been goal shy lately, scoring in each of their last seven league outings and averaging two per game in their last three. Both teams to score has to carry a strong probability for this fixture. With things so tight in the play-off race this would be a huge coup for the Robins if they could pull off the three points.
Head to Head News
