Swindon Town – Walsall

Match analysis

Swindon Town will host Walsall in what promises to be a tightly contested league fixture, with both sides sitting on ten points but separated by five places. The Robins, currently ninth with three wins, a draw and two defeats and a goal difference of minus two, will be eager to close the gap on the unbeaten Walsall, who sit fifth after two victories and four draws and boast a healthy +4 goal difference. Walsall’s solid defensive record – conceding only four goals in six games – will test Swindon’s leaky back line, which has let in ten. Historically the two clubs have split points in recent meetings, adding an extra layer of intrigue to a match that could see the table reshuffled depending on who secures the three points.
