Recent respective form guides
Swindon Town need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Robins have scored 4, a worringly large 7 have been leaked at the other end.
Rochdale's away form is none too clever either, with 3 victories and just 1 loss from the last six. The Dale's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 7 goals for and 5 against.
Swindon Town are stuck down in the relegation zone of Npower League One with a return of just 30 points from their 28 games thus far. Rochdale's 37 points from 26 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the Robins at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Dale come away with an easy victory. Away win
