BIG MATCH PREVIEW: Hartlepool United V Swindon Town

Get ready for Saturday

22 April 2022

Swindon Town face another huge game in the EFL Sky Bet League Two on Saturday as they take on Hartlepool United.

Ben Garner's team face a long trip up north to The Suit Direct Stadium tomorrow (3pm Kick-Off), with a return to winning ways key if they want to maintain their push for the Playoffs.

Hartlepool have lost four of their last six outings but, with their form generally good at home, they will be hoping to finish their first season back in the EFL on a high.

Let's get you set for the game...

Ben Garner, Swindon Town Head Coach: "They will want to finish strong now.

"They will want to turn this little run around and their home form has generally been pretty good over the season for them, so it isn't an easy place to go.

"We'll just have to focus on us and we know what we have to do to go and get a result.

"We have to go and do it.

"We need to get three points tomorrow, we need a good performance and let's get a win on the board and see where that takes us going into the last three."
