Walsall vs Swindon Predictions

• Swindon have won three consecutive matches in League Two.
• The Robins won this season’s reverse fixture 5-0 in late February, and won 2-1 on this ground in the FA Cup in December.
• No fourth-tier team can match the 40 points Swindon have collected on the road this term.
• Walsall have lost four of their last seven league games.

Swindon look to clinch play-off spot

A run of three consecutive wins has Swindon occupying League Two’s final play-off spot with just one match remaining, but with both Sutton United and Tranmere Rovers possessing favourable fixtures and capable of surpassing the Robins, Ben Garners men will likely need a win at Walsall to keep their promotion dreams alive.

Luckily for Swindon, their away record is second to none in League Two, with Garner’s men taking 40 of their 74 points on the road this term – a better travelling return than that of any other side in the division. As well as boasting the most away wins (12), Swindon have scored the joint-most away goals (39) in the league, so should travel to the Midlands in confident mood.

Walsall did lose the two teams’ last meeting 5-0 in February, but should give a better account of themselves this time around after an upturn in form since the turn of the year. Indeed, the Saddlers followed up that thrashing with a six-game unbeaten run, but have lost four of their seven since then and have nothing to play for with one game remaining.

Robins to continue fine travelling record on tense afternoon

Given Swindon’s excellent away form, as well as the way in which Garner’s men have dragged themselves into the play-off race with three successive wins at a vital stage of the campaign, backing them to keep their promotion hopes alive with a win looks a strong play.

Both teams have scored in four of Swindon’s last five outings, so a tense 2-1 final-day win for the visitors could be a decent correct score prediction, with the Robins winning an FA Cup meeting by the same scoreline on this ground in December.
