A Sports Betting Preview by ArmchairPunter

Swindon Town v Bristol Rovers
Football : England: League Two
Venue: County Ground
Saturday 28th February 2026, 1230hrs (GMT)

---

Another lunchtime kick-off in League Two on Saturday lunchtime sees 5th placed Swindon Town taking on lowly Bristol Rovers at the County Ground and Swindon Town manager, Ian Holloway, will be up against one of his former clubs in this encounter.

Having collected two wins but also handed two defeats, Swindon Town manager, Ian Holloway, will be demanding greater consistency from The Robins for this lunchtime encounter following victories gained over Newport County and Barnet as well as losses at the hands of Shrewsbury Town and Crewe Alexandra.

However, Swindon Town have picked up five wins from their last seven matches in the domestic fourth tier which will no doubt give the hosts plenty of encouragement as they look to pick up all three points in a bid to lift themselves into one of the automatic promotion places in the League Two table.

Swindon possess a solid looking home record of 10-3-4 30/18 to date.

Bristol Rovers have not fared as well though as the visitors sit in a lowly 20th place in the League Two table where they hold a four-point cushion between themselves and the relegation zone ahead of this tough trip to the County Ground.

Having been dealt 21 losses in 33 league games so far in this season’s fourth tier campaign, Bristol Rovers’ prospects do not look particularly promising although The Pirates picked up all three points in last weekend’s 3-1 home win against Grimsby Town.

However, the visitors have also slumped to six defeats within their last nine league matches, four of which were inflicted upon Steve Evans’ side on the road with losses incurred at Salford City, MK Dons, Cambridge United and Oldham Athletic, while an away record of 3-2-11 14/30 is the second-worst record in the division.

The Betting Verdict

Swindon Town have won the last two meetings on the trot against Bristol Rovers, 3-0 and 4-0 respectively.
