Town will be doing everything they can to give their survival hopes a boost when they make the trip to Bradford City on Saturday.
Swindon take on the promotion hopefuls at Valley Parade tomorrow (3pm Kick-Off) knowing that a win is much needed as they bid to beat the drop.
Luke Williams’ side will also be hoping to shrug off the disappointment of midweek too having lost 4-2 to Sheffield United at SN1, despite overturning a two-goal deficit.
Bradford, on the other hand, were held to a 1-1 draw by Charlton away from home on Tuesday evening.
STAT ATTACK:
Town and Bradford have locked horns on 37 occasions in all competitions and the Reds are able to boast the better head-to-head record with 15 wins to their name, compared to The Bantams’ 10.

A WORD FROM BOTH CAMPS:
Stuart McCall, Bradford City Manager: “They scored a good free-kick against us (in November) and we missed some big chances. It was a game we should have taken more from and it’s our fault that we didn’t.
“We weren’t unlucky. We created a lot of good chances and just failed to take them.
“Swindon are battling desperately at the bottom. We know they get goals but we’ll focus on ourselves and putting in another good performance.”
Luke Williams, Swindon Town Head Coach: “We need to win to make the fans happy. We need to show them that we are trying and we need to give them some hope to hold on to.
“Bradford aren’t overly going to be worried about us and they will come and attack us. But we need points more than they do.
“We need to attack tomorrow as well so I expect it to be end-to-end and it will be a battle of wills.
“Bradford will be very aggressive but they can really pass the ball well in the middle of the pitch and they can dominate you.”
