Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Swindon to win and both teams to score7/2Swindon have been excellent at the County Ground, winning both their home League Two games this season, seeing off Port Vale 3-1 and Cheltenham 2-1, so backing them on their own patch is well founded. Both teams to score fits the pattern nicely: the visitors netted in both of those Swindon home wins, and Colchester have shown they can score on the road, drawing 2-2 at Accrington. This fixture also tends to produce goals, with recent meetings featuring plenty. With Swindon strong at home but leaking a little, and Colchester capable of finding the net, a home win with both sides on the scoresheet has appeal.
Aaron Drinan to score anytime and Jack Payne over 0.5 shots on target4/1Aaron Drinan has been Swindon’s main man, scoring twice and rattling off five shots on target in four League Two games as an ever-present starter, so he stands out as a strong anytime scorer on home turf. Jack Payne provides the second leg, an ever-present for Colchester who has already landed three shots on target this season, which makes over 0.5 shots on target a sensible ask for a player so involved in his side’s attack. With Drinan firing regularly and Payne consistently getting efforts away, both legs of this double look well backed at the County Ground.

How Colchester go into the game

Colchester were beaten 2-0 at Bristol Rovers last time out, a tough trip. They travel to Swindon needing a response.

Organised on their day, Colchester carry a threat but were second best last time. A point would be welcome.
