Di Canio has led Swindon to the summit of League Two

"Just one win in seven has John Sheridan’s side on the verge of an instant return to League Two."

The Johnstone's Paint Trophy Final pits League One's basement club against the leaders of League Two and the latter's momentum will see them triumph...

Chesterfield v Swindon, Sunday 14:00, Sky Sports 2, Match odds: Chesterfield [3.5], Swindon [2.22], The Draw [3.35]

This time last season Chesterfield were 13 points clear at the top of League Two, while Swindon sat six points adrift of safety in England's third tier. How the tables have turned.

Four wins in January looked to have signalled a change in the Spireites' fortune but things have subsequently turned sour once again. Just one win in seven has John Sheridan's side on the verge of an instant return to League Two.

Swindon meanwhile are enjoying a revival under the exuberant stewardship of Paolo Di Canio. Though the Italian made a bumpy start to life in Wiltshire, overseeing four defeats in their first five league games, Swindon now look set to be crowned champions, just as Di Canio predicted.

The Robins have won ten of their previous 12 fixtures in all competitions, though they are not immune from the odd slip up, having lost two of their last five league outings.

But league form doesn't always dictate the outcome, after Luton Town, who were rock bottom of the Football League, famously saw off League One Scunthorpe 3-2 after extra time in 2009.

Over/Under 2.5 goals

Six of Swindon's last seven matches have contained fewer than three goals, five of those ending in a 2-0 scoreline. As for the Spireites, seven of their previous nine contests have produced under 2.5 goals, including four that contained just a solitary strike or ended 0-0.

What's more, last year's final was settled by a single goal as Carlisle saw off Brentford. Under 2.5 goals is currently priced [1.79].

Swindon to win to nil

Di Canio's side have kept five clean sheets in seven, winning all five contests. And the Spireites are struggling in front of goal, having failed to score in four of their previous seven matches. Swindon are [3.7] to win without conceding.

Best Bet: Swindon to win @ [2.22]
Other Recommended Bet: Under 2.5 goals @ [1.79]
