Town will be on a mission to extend their unbeaten start to 2017 when they entertain Peterborough United at The County Ground on Saturday (3pm Kick-Off).
Luke Williams’ side have opened the New Year with two draws and one victory, claiming a superb 2-1 success away at Bolton Wanderers in their last outing.
Peterborough, on the other hand, are without a win in their last five games and were thrashed 5-1 by Bury last Saturday.
Gwion Edwards and Marcus Maddison twice fired the hosts in the lead when the Reds made the trip to the ABAX Stadium in September 2016, but a Michael Doughty penalty and a Jack Baldwin own goal ensured that the spoils were shared.
STAT ATTACK:
Town and Peterborough have done battle on 62 occasions in all competitions and the Robins are able to boast the better head-to-head record by the narrowest of margins with 22 wins to their name, compared to United’s 21.

A WORD FROM BOTH CAMPS:
Luke Williams, Town Head Coach: “We will look at the real obvious strengths of the opposition and then of course try and concentrate on where we’re going to hurt them and where their weaknesses are.
“We need to make sure we do our bit as well as we possibly can.
“We know ourselves that it can be really difficult to bounce back from a bad result and a bad performance but, equally, players can come out really determined to put things right.
“We have to be on guard against Peterborough.”
Grant McCann, Peterborough United Manager: “It is a good game for us, Swindon had a good result against Bolton last week and we had a bad result so we need to make sure we respond in the right way.
“It is always a nice pitch there and I think it will be a good football game.
“Hopefully we can come out on top.”
