FLEETWOOD TOWN v SWINDON TOWN
Saturday 1st April 2017 – Kickoff: 1500hrs
Football – England – League One Betting Tips
Fleetwood Town come into this encounter against struggling Swindon Town no doubt looking to extend their unbeaten run to four matches in League One as they look to close the gap on the leading two teams in the division.
Third placed Fleetwood are currently six points adrift of second placed Bolton Wanderers, but although they recorded a recent win over Walsall, back-to-back draws against AFC Wimbledon and Bury in frustrating 0-0 stalemates have hindered their progress in recent weeks.
The Cod Army have a great chance of returning to winning ways against Swindon though, especially when you look at their home record which stands at 11-7-2 33/19 where they’ve lost just once in their last 15 matches at Highbury Stadium.
Visitors Swindon Town recently ended a dire run of four straight League One defeats when they registered a vital 1-0 home win over Millwall last weekend, but this wasn’t enough to lift them out of the relegation zone.
The Robins still sit third from bottom in the division, but are just four points behind the safety spot of 20th place, currently occupied by Shrewsbury Town. However, Swindon face a tough task of getting anything out of a solid Fleetwood Town side, particularly at Highbury Stadium, as well as a poor away record so far.
Swindon’s away record stands at a disappointing 3-5-12 20/38 which includes five defeats from their last seven outings and come into this clash having suffered back-to-back away losses at Port Vale and Bradford City. Add in just two clean sheets on their travels so far this season, and you can see why they may well struggle again today…
Pick: Fleetwood Town AH-0.25 @ 1.52 bet365
