Play-off chasing Brentford take on 23rd placed Swindon Town at Griffin Park on Saturday in another fixture where both sides need all three points.
BRENTFORD
Brentford will be aiming to make it four straight wins against relegation-threatened Swindon and with home advantage behind them, I reckon there’s a great opportunity to get one up on your despised bookie.
The Bees home record stands at 9-4-7 23/23, and have former Millwall marksman Gary Alexander and Charlie McDonald (both with 9 goals apiece) in tandem up front.
McDonald has also contributed with 7 assists, along with midfielder Myles Weston (3 goals, 4 assists). Four other players have scored 3 goals also which underlines their versatility in front of goal.
SWINDON TOWN
Visitors Swindon Town are on a wretched run of form which has seen them endure eighteen matches without a win and subsequently has seen them plummet into the bottom four with no signs of them ending this unwanted sequence.
The Robins away record now stands at a dire 2-5-13 26/42, and whilst their problem wasn’t scoring goals on the road, they are certainly leaking goals left right and centre in defence. In their last seven away matches they’ve scored just 3 and conceded 13.
Swindon have also kept only two clean sheets in their 20 away matches so far this season.
The very important factor here is that they no longer have striker and leading scorer Charlie Austin who departed to Championship side Burnley, and this was the catalyst to Swindon's downfall, simple as that.
