Plymouth Argyle - Swindon Town: team news and expert analysis
The Plymouth-based club tried to fight for a return to the Championship but ultimately finished last spring in eighth place. Now they are looking to step up their performances and earn more wins, although they suffered several defeats last month. They also failed to score against Reading in their most recent league match, settling for a draw. In the cup, however, they thrashed Alvechurch 4-0.
The team from the County Ground finished ninth in League Two with 75 points. At the moment, they have suffered as many defeats as they have recorded wins, and their chances of reaching the playoff zone are fading. They did beat Rotherham in their last league match, but a defeat to MK Dons followed immediately afterward in the cup.
The home side opened their Trophy campaign by thrashing Crystal Palace U21 5-1. They then drew with Newport, but still prevailed in the ensuing penalty shootout.
