Swindon Town Preview – Can Robins avoid sixth loss on trot?
Having lost their last five games on the trot, Tuesday’s hosts, Swindon Town, find themselves in deep relegation trouble as The Robins sit bottom of League One and seven points adrift of safety ahead of this tricky looking fixture at home against Portsmouth.
Recent losses to Blackpool, Burton Albion, Peterborough United, Rochdale and most disappointing of all, a 4-1 loss away at AFC Wimbledon on the weekend have landed Swindon in serious trouble and they must now get a result here in order to keep their survival hopes alive.
This may well be easier said than done as Swindon have lost their last four home games on the trot, conceding a total of 10 goals and scoring just 2 in reply.
Portsmouth Preview – Can Pompey rekindle play-off hopes?
Following a dismal three-match run without a win in League One, Portsmouth have once again dropped out of the play-off pack and the south coast side now find themselves in 7th place but level on points with 6th placed Oxford United ahead of these midweek fixtures.
Defeats to Burton Albion and MK Dons along with a draw at Crewe means that Pompey have picked up just one point out of the last possible nine on offer and manager, Danny Cowley, will be desperate for his side to bounce back with a win tonight.
Portsmouth have picked up recent wins on the road at Shrewsbury Town and Wigan Athletic though and the visitors might just edge a narrow victory against this beleaguered Swindon outfit here.
