Recent respective form guides

Stockport County's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Hatters have scored 9, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.

Swindon Town's away form is none too clever either, tasting just one defeat in their last six, and picking up four good wins. The games have constituted a decent return of 10 goals for the Robins, and 5 goals against.

Stockport Co. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 14 points from their 18 games thus far. Swindon Town lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola League One, picking up 28 from their 17 games so far.
