Bristol Rovers welcome Swindon Town at Memorial Stadium, Bristol, Gloucestershire on Saturday, Oct 24 at 1:30 PM in a League 2 fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Bristol Rovers come into this fixture in good form (3W 0D 2L recently). Swindon Town travel in mixed form (2W 1D 2L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Despite playing at home, Bristol Rovers face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Swindon Town have won 6 of 10 encounters, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Bristol Rovers a slight edge, but Swindon Town are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
