Swindon vs Manchester City
England – FA Cup
Date: Friday, 7 January 2022
Kick-off at 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
Venue: County Ground
Swindon locks horn against Manchester City for the first time since 2002. When they hosts City after they lost 0-2 against them 20 years ago in the same FA Cup, they expects to claim a victory and to strike at least once against City.
They are currently fifth in League two with 37 points. They are 10 points shy to the table topper and their recent form is not so impressive.
On the other side, City is a mile ahead of their competitors in Premier League. They comfortably secures their first position with a margin of 10 points with the second positioned chelsea in the table.
They both will have the same spirits as they follows a win in their most recent league match. Swindon defeated Northampton for 5-2 FT score and City sealed a win against Arsenal after Hernandez scored a stoppage time goal to put them ahead and to bag three points.
When considering this match-up, Swindon is having an average form overall with 10 wins out of 22 games in League Two. Their most recent win against the top flight Northampton is impressive but will only count little against this City side.
Before facing the Town, City follows their exceptional form in Premier League. They won 17 out of their 21 games in the league. They are unbeaten for many games and are also having a dominant power in this match-up.
Looking at these two teams, we feel that City should see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities. At the other end, The Robins are probably going to find it difficult getting goals but would be converting at least once here.
