**Swindon are rolling, but York have that pesky home-ground vibe** — this is a clash between two sides finding rhythm in different ways. 🔥

York's sitting pretty at home with back-to-back wins (plus a draw), though they've wobbled away. Swindon just hammered Port Vale and Colchester but got spanked 3-0 at Oldham, so they're streaky. Head-to-head? Swindon won the last one, so there's a bit of needle here.

Key storylines:

- **J. Grey and A. Newby** need to unlock Swindon's backline; York's front two have been the spark in home wins
- **F. Holman and A. Drinan** can hurt on the counter if York push too hard in their 3-4-2-1 shape
- **O. Banks and R. Fallowfield** anchoring midfield will be crucial to controlling the tempo against Swindon's fluent passing

Expected lineups:

- **York City**: A. McNally, M. Kitching, M. Williams, Z. Johnson, R. Fallowfield, O. Banks, A. Hunt, A. Read, A. Newby, O. Pearce, J. Grey
- **Swindon Town**: C. Ripley, B. Kirkman, S. Negru, K. A. M. Majekodunmi, M. Clark, J. Thomson, O. Clarke, M. Virtue-Thick, F. Holman, A. Drinan, J. Hungbo

Prediction:

**York City 2–1 Swindon Town**

Home edge and York's recent form at the Bootham Crescent give them the slight lean.
