History of the Stockport County v Swindon Town fixture

Swindon Town face a trip to Stockport County at Edgeley Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Robins will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in January 2003, as the visitors ran out cosy 2 - 5 winners in a League Division Two match.

Recent respective form guides

Stockport County's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. Only 5 goals have been registered in this time, with 7 in the wrong end.

Stockport Co. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Nationwide League Division Two with a return of just 28 points from their 30 games thus far. Swindon Town are just outside the promotion places, in 4th, having taken 48 points from 30 games.
