The County Ground hosts a League Two vs League One showdown in the EFL Trophy Round of 32 as Swindon Town welcome Peterborough United on Tuesday, 2nd December 2025 at 20:30 WAT / 19:30 GMT.
Swindon, flying high in 5th of League Two (28 pts) after a 2-1 win at Chesterfield, boast an unbeaten run in 8 (5W-3D) and a lethal attack (2.2 GPG). Peterborough, mid-table in League One (20th, 18 pts) but potent in cup ties (2W in group stage), arrive off a 3-0 home thrashing of Stockport but with road vulnerabilities (1W in 6 aways). The Robins’ home fire (3W-2D in 5) meets the Posh’s counter-threat, but H2H favors Peterborough (3W-2D-0L in 5, avg 2.6 goals).
