On March 22, the "County Ground" will host the 38th round match of the English League 2, where "Swindon Town" will face "Accrington Stanley". I suggest placing a bet on goals/cards/winner for this match.
"Swindon Town"
The team in the 90s finally reached, albeit not on the first attempt, the top division of England. But they were immediately relegated and then slowly, yet steadily, lost positions further. Eventually, they slid down to the fourth division. Recently, they returned to League 1, but not for long. And last season, they finished only in nineteenth place - out of 24.
Now they've managed to improve, but not significantly - at least they won't have to worry about the threat of relegation to the Conference. They've almost balanced their number of wins and losses, and as a result, have risen to the middle of the table. However, since the end of December, there have been only two lost matches. The 3-3 draw with "Cheltenham" was their third draw already.
"Accrington Stanley"
The club capped off their progress at the end of the last decade with a promotion to League 1. Even as a debutant, they managed to spend several consecutive years there. But in 2023, they dropped to a lower level. And there, they not only failed to fight for the return of lost positions but also finished last spring in a modest seventeenth place.
The situation is even more challenging now - it's too early to say that they've secured even a basic "residency" at the League 2 level. Although John Doolan's squad secured some important victories at the end of winter and the beginning of spring, over "Tranmere Rovers", "MK Dons", and "Newport". But in the last round, they only managed a draw with "Gillingham".
Match facts
- "Swindon" lost twice in the last seventeen matches
