A League Two Supercomputer has predicted a heartbreaking end to the season for Swindon Town as they are set to miss out on the play-offs by a narrow margin.

After making a strong start to the season, a difficult patch in October has seen Swindon drop out of the play-off places and they currently reside in tenth place in the table but are still just three points off Accrington Stanley at the bottom of the play-offs.

Data analysts at Betway have “analysed match patterns of every team in England’s fourth tier to produce as accurate a simulation of the upcoming season as possible.”

Those analysts do foresee Town arresting their recent slump, but it will not be enough to make the post-season as they are projected to finish in eighth place and two points behind Crewe Alexandra in the final play-off spot.

As has largely been the story of the season, the Supercomputer believes Town's 73 goals scored will be the second-highest in the division behind Stockport County, and only two fewer than the club scored in their title-winning season under Paolo Di Canio.

However, the defence is predicted to continue to be an Achilles heel, as Betway’s experts have Town set to concede 57 goals, the highest number among the top 14 teams in League Two.

Aside from Swindon, Stockport’s recent march to the top of the table is set to continue as they claim the league title, with Derek Adam’s Morecambe earning promotion back to League One at the first time of asking, and Aden Flint and Louis Reed helping to get Mansfield automatic promotion in third.

Bradford City will recover from a slow start to the season to finish fourth, with Accrington Stanley, Hollywood-darlings Wrexham, and Crewe Alexandra following them into the post-season.

The major surprise from the Supercomputer is the prediction that Notts County, who have taken to life in League Two like a duck to water so far, are projected to sink like a stone and not just fail to earn promotion but miss out on the playoffs altogether in tenth.

At the bottom of the table, Betway believes that Tranmere Rovers’ struggles will continue and they will drop back into the National League, but Sutton United will survive by a single point above Colchester United, who fail to improve their fortunes under whoever Ben Garner’s successor turns out to be.
