Bristol Rovers vs Swindon Town predictions for today’s 12.30pm (UK time) kick-off at the Memorial Stadium back Swindon Town, winners on their last three visits, to win 2-1, with League Two joint top scorer Aaron Drinan 23/10 to score against a Bristol Rovers side on a four-game losing run.
Rovers are favourites after winning four of their six home games, but they have lost their last two at the Memorial Stadium. Swindon have scored just three goals in six away games, yet they have won on each of their last three visits here.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson has weighed up the Memorial Stadium clash and picked out two selections that side with the visitors and their leading scorer.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Aaron Drinan to score anytime | 23/10 (Ladbrokes) | Aaron Drinan has scored eight of Swindon Town’s 13 League Two goals, which makes him the division’s joint top scorer alongside Barnet’s Kabongo Tshimanga. He arrives in form, with a brace in Tuesday’s 3-1 win at Barnet and a goal in the 1-1 draw with Walsall before that. Bristol Rovers have conceded nine goals during their four-game losing run, including five in their last two home games. Ladbrokes’ 23/10 on Drinan scoring at any time is the best way to back Swindon’s main threat. |
| Swindon Town draw no bet | 3/1 (Sky Bet) | Swindon Town are unbeaten in the last five meetings with Bristol Rovers, winning three, and they have won on each of their last three visits to the Memorial Stadium, including a 3-0 win in December 2025. Rovers arrive on a four-game losing run, with home defeats by Barnet and Salford City in their last two games here. Swindon have won only one of six away games, so draw no bet hands back the stake if they only take a point. Sky Bet’s 3/1 is the bigger-price play. |

How Bristol Rovers go into the game
Bristol Rovers are a team of extremes this season, with a record of five wins, no draws and seven defeats leaving them 16th on 15 points. That all-or-nothing pattern is stark at home, where they have won four and lost two of their six games while scoring 11 goals. Recent form has turned sharply, however: they have lost each of their last four, most recently a 2-1 home defeat to Salford City, with a 1-0 home win over Exeter City five games back now their last victory.
The Gas have kept four clean sheets and look a different proposition in BS7, but their lack of draws means games tend to swing one way or the other. Swindon have won on each of their last three visits to the Memorial Stadium, so Rovers will be wary despite being strong favourites on home soil.
How Swindon Town go into the game
Swindon Town sit 15th on 15 points from 12 games, with four wins, three draws and five defeats making for a middling start. They won 3-1 at Barnet on Tuesday, their first league win in seven games, but they have failed to score in six matches this season, a worrying trait against a side that keeps clean sheets.
It is on the road where Swindon have struggled. They have won just one of six away games, losing four, and have managed only three goals in total away from home. A recent 1-0 loss at Rochdale summed up their travel sickness, and that lack of firepower is a worry, even though Rovers have conceded five goals in their last two home games.

|---|---|---|---|
| 28/02/26 | Swindon Town | 1-1 | Bristol Rovers |

| 23/03/21 | Bristol Rovers | 0-1 | Swindon Town |
History offers Swindon encouragement despite their underdog status. They are unbeaten in the last five meetings, winning three and drawing two, and crucially have won on each of their last three visits to the Memorial Stadium, including a 3-0 there in December 2025. The hosts will need to reverse a stubborn recent trend.
