History of the Bournemouth v Swindon Town fixture

Swindon Town pack their bags to visit Bournemouth at Dean Court on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Robins will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 27 and win only 6 of the 51 games.

The previous match played between the two at Dean Court was more than three years back, in December 2007, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a League One match.
