Team Previews, Form and Standout Players - A chance for Bristol Rovers to make it three wins on the bounce?

Swindon Town have not started the season well and seem way out of the depth for a match of their calibre.

Swindon Town Preview

Swindon Town Predicted Line-ups: Daniel Barden; Miguel Freckleton, Will Wright, Tunmise Sobowale; George Cox, Daniel James Butterworth, Gavin Kilkenny, Joel Cotterill, Joel McGregor; Aaron Drinan, Kabongo Tshimanga.

Under the control of manager Mark Kennedy, Swindon have a lot to do this season if they want to climb away from the 4th tier drop zone. In the league so far, they have just eight points from their opening 10 games and have scored the 4th lowest goals out of any of the 24 League Two sides.

This is certainly not the Swindon Town we saw push for promotion in the 2022/23 season, and they will struggle against a decent League One side here.

Bristol Rovers Preview

Bristol Rovers Predicted Line-up: Josh Griffiths; Clinton Mola, Connor Taylor, James Wilson; Bryant Bilongo, Kamil Conteh, Jamie Lindsay, Jack Hunt; Scott Sinclair, Ruel Sotiriou; Promise Omochere.

Bristol Rovers have done excellently to take six points from their last two games. Last time out against a poor Burton side, victory was inevitable. But before that they defeated a top League One side in Charlton Athletic (3-2) and were actually three goals ahead by the 67th minute.

Last time out in the trophy, they lost to Tottenham’s under 21s side and will be eager to get the first points on the table. The standout player so fat for the Rovers has arguably been Promise Omochere. The striker already has two goals and two assists so far and looks a very bright sparke for Matt Taylor’s side.
