This week FootyMad's match preview focuses on the game between Yeovil Town and Swindon Town at 15:00 on Saturday, 5th September 2009 in the League One.
|
Yeovil Town prepare to entertain Swindon Town at Huish Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 2 of the 4 previous games, with the Glovers winning just 1.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Huish Park was less than a year ago, in March 2009, the Glovers carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a League One match.

Recent respective form guides
Yeovil Town's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Glovers have scored 9, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.
Swindon Town's away form is none too clever either, losing only 1 of the last six, but drawing 4 of them. The Robins's have scored 9 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 11.
Yeovil Town's 5 points from 5 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th position. Swindon Town lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola League One, picking up 8 from their 5 games so far.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the Glovers at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Robins come away with an easy victory. Away win
