Preview

Rochdale scored twice inside the opening quarter of an hour of their game against Fleetwood Town last time out, surviving a late red card to take three points home from Highbury Stadium. The newly-promoted side have found their footing and are now chasing a third straight league win.

Swindon fell behind inside the opening minute of their game against Accrington Stanley last time out, but recovered to claim a point on home soil. The Robins, who have been ravaged by injuries this season, are now winless in five in all competitions.
