Swindon Town play host to Rochdale at County Ground on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. All the previous meetings between the two have been won by the Robins.
The last time the two teams met at Swindon Town was amazingly over twenty years ago, in October 1985, as they swept to an impressive 4-0 win in a Fourth Division match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
The current home form displayed by Swindon Town is obviously none too clever, but, with the current standing of Rochdale, I firmly believe this match can only produce a victory for the Robins. Home Win
