Swindon vs Colchester tips and predictions

Colchester to deny the hosts; deadlock beckons

This isn't a confident view but the short price for Swindon has made them unbackable. Colchester don't look likely to go the whole nine yards, but they can certainly ask some questions. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick but it's certainly not something to get carried away with.

Both of these sides have looked strong in defence. In their last 5 matches Swindon have only conceded 0.6 goals, while Colchester have conceded only 1 goal in their last 3 matches on the road.

In previous matches in this head-to-head, 5 of the last 13 have been draws.

Few could argue with the notion that both sides can score despite the favouritism for The Robins. Nevertheless the odds-against for the No BTTS is actually the standout from that market.

Swindon have drawn 4 of their last 10 matches on their own soil, including their most recent match when they drew 1-1 with Harrogate last Saturday. Colchester have drawn 8 of their last 17 matches on the road. Their most recent stalemate was when they drew with Newport last Friday. To wrap this up there is nothing to like about the home or away win odds. The draw is the play after what will probably be a tightly contested match-up.
