Accrington had a slip up in the league last weekend as they fell to a defeat out on the road against Exeter, who are a place beneath them now in the league standings. But Stanley are still up in the top three and with plenty to play for. Swindon have slipped back down the table a little bit having suffered back to back league defeats and they need to stop the rot to avoid losing touch with the top seven.

SwindonAccrington Form
Stanley have won just one of their last four league games now (D2 L1) after their 2-0 defeat out on the road at Exeter last weekend. But they have been going well on home soil and are unbeaten in their last four at the Crown Ground, winning three of those. They have collected three clean sheets in their last six league games so have defensive strengths and overall on home soil this season they have shipped just the nine goals. They have struck the opening goal in six of their ten home games and they are good value to really push on here given their home form. They do boast the fourth best home record in League Two this season after all.
Swindon Form
The Robins have fallen to back to back defeats for just the second time this season after having fallen by one goal margins against Grimsby and Newport. That snapped a good run of four games unbeaten that they were on before that. They have actually been carrying some strong away form having won seven of their ten games out on the road. Their recent loss at Grimsby snapped a three-match winning streak that they were on away from home and they have scored at least two goals in four of their away games this season. They have carried good scoring form and will be competitive.
Head to Head News
This will be the first coming together for the two of them since the 2011/12 League Two season when Swindon won both of those league games by a 2-0 scoreline. Actually, each of the last three games between these two have all ended in a win for Swindon by that score. The Robins are unbeaten in their previous four League Two matches against Stanley (W3 D1). The overall head to head between them is even at three wins each and two drawn matches.
