Swindon host Bromley in a massive League Two encounter in the race for promotion.
Victory could put Swindon top if Gillingham lose and Salford plus Walsall fail to win elsewhere, whilst Bromley can climb as high as fifth with a win depending on results elsewhere.
Team News
Ryan Tafazolli could be in line for his Swindon debut as he nears a return from his Achilles injury.
James Ball, Billy Bodin (both knee) and Princewill Ehibhatiomhan (illness) could return but
Ryan Delaney (knee), Harrison Minturn and Harry Smith (both ACL) remain absent.

Carl Jenkinson remains absent with a hip injury.
When is Kick-Off?
Swindon host Bromley at the County Ground on Saturday 27 September at 3pm BST, untelevised live in the UK.
Stat Attack
- Swindon are yet to beat Bromley in League Two (D1, L1), having drawn 1-1 in South London then lost 1-0 at home last season.
- Bromley won 1-0 in their only previous EFL visit to Swindon back in April 2025 (W1).
- Both Swindon and Bromley have kept one clean sheet apiece in three previous meetings across all competitions.
- Aaron Drinan has scored four goals in three of Swindon’s four home games in League Two this season, having only failed to find the net in a 2-0 loss to Barnet.
- Bromley have failed to score in two of their four away games this season (W1, D2, L1).
Prediction
With just one clean sheet so far this season in all competitions yet packed with plenty of goals and attacking quality, Swindon can’t be underestimated but they will be frustrated to had lost at Salford 3-2 after coming from 2-0 down to level the game.
Bromley though are gutsy grafters despite their tendency to give away some sloppy goals and not build on early leads solidly enough lately, so a huge resilient defensive effort is needed here with no silliness if they want a result given how close the play-off area is looking now.
If they can achieve that then a smash-and-grab just like last season’s trip could be on the cards but I do think that this could be a close draw.
Prediction: Swindon 1-1 Bromley
Result: Swindon 2-0 Bromley
