1st Prediction For Swindon Town vs Bradford City: Swindon Town to win 2/1
As Bradford City currently sit at the top of the League Two table, the bookmakers have the Bantams as favourites heading into Saturday’s game. But, this means it is worth predicting Swindon Town to win as Graham Alexander’s side have been in relatively poor form recently and they have a poor record away from home. Despite recently heading to the summit of the table, Bradford have only won two of their last five league games, drawing once and losing twice which puts them in a disappointing 11th place in the form guide. Swindon have only lost once in their last five games and picked up eight points which puts them in fifth place in the form table. Over the last five games, only two sides have scored more goals than Ian Holloway’s team. Additionally, Bradford’s record on their travels is very poor considering that they are in a battle for automatic promotion. The Yorkshire-based side have won just five of their 20 away games this season which gives them the 14th-best away record in League Two.
2nd Prediction For Swindon Town vs Bradford City: Swindon Town to win and both teams to score: no 19/5
Those looking for a riskier prediction should consider predicting Swindon Town to win whilst also keeping a clean sheet. Bradford have failed to find the back of the net in four of their last six games as the sustained absence of star striker Andy Cook looks to have finally started affecting the attack. The Bantam’s attacking record at the University of Bradford Stadium is very impressive, but they have struggled to replicate much of this attacking play on the road. Graham Alexander’s men have scored just 17 goals in their 20 away games, only five teams in the entirety of the fourth tier have scored less on their travels. Swindon Town’s defence has also been slightly better recently. They have conceded just five times in their last five games, keeping two clean sheets in the process.
3rd Prediction For Swindon Town vs Bradford City: Kabongo Tshimanga to score at any time 29/10
The in-form attacker heading into Saturday’s game is Swindon’s Kabongo Tshimanga and it would therefore be worth predicting him to find the back of the net again on Saturday. The 27-year-old has struggled for consistency and fitness in the last few seasons, but a loan move to Borehamwood in February 2024 has set him on a steady upwards trajectory. He joined Swindon Town on loan in the summer and has scored 11 times in 39 appearances for Ian Holloway’s side. Four of these goals have come in his last five appearances and he has earned a more regular space in the starting eleven over the past few weeks. Whilst critics may point out that all of these goals have come from the penalty spot, Tshimanga is very much a confidence-based striker and his recent goals from the spot will be certain to improve his overall play.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head
Swindon Town come into Saturday’s game sitting in 14th place in League Two, having accumulated 54 points from 41 games. They have been in relatively good form in recent weeks, picking up eight points in their last five outings, including an impressive two-one victory over promotion-challengers AFC Wimbledon. The appointment of Ian Holloway has set the football club back on an upwards trajectory after a tumultuous period both on and off the pitch. Although the club are destined to finish this campaign in mid-table, they will still be hoping to secure an impressive victory against Bradford City in front of their home fans.
Graham Alexander’s Bradford City have gathered momentum extremely well after a tough start to the season and they now sit first place in League Two. However, they are only on top due to goal difference and their recent indifferent form, they have picked up seven points in their last five games, will be a slight cause for concern. Despite their poor record on the road, Alexander will be expecting his side to secure a victory against a team who do not have anything major to fight for at this stage of the season. He will also be hoping that they can at least maintain their three-point gap to fourth-placed Doncaster Rovers and secure automatic promotion to League One.
Bradford dominated the game between the two sides earlier in the campaign. They secured a comfortable one-nil win as Swindon did not even have a shot on target.
