Swindon Town are on the verge of qualifying for the knockout stages for the Bristol Street Motors Trophy.
The Robins take on Tottenham Hotspur U21s on Tuesday in a game where they can progress to the second round for the first time since 2021, but what do they need results-wise?
The winner takes it all 👀

A win for either @Official_STFC or @Spurs_Academy tomorrow night will see them progress to the knockout stages! 🏆
Who’ll be joining @OfficialECFC in the next round? 💪#EFL | #BristolStreetMotorsTrophy pic.twitter.com/hnmsGn18ap
Ian Holloway's side sit in second place heading into the tie, where they must avoid defeat to qualify.
All they need is a draw against Spurs, which will take the game to a penalty shootout but they could lose the extra point and still go through, due to the goal difference.
Exeter City have played all their games and won all three, which means they will top the group no matter on other results.
Bristol Rovers are the other team who have finished their campaign in the competition and cannot finish any higher than rock bottom.
With the Bristol Street Motors Trophy being split into northern and southern sections, Town will only be able to face teams from the south.
Some of the teams they could face range from sides like Wimbledon, Northampton and Cheltenham, but that's down to other results.
The draw for the next round should take place in late November.
