Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Colchester United and Swindon Town square off against each other at Colchester Community Stadium in what is expected to be a close League Two encounter. The U’s aim to build on a 3-0 win over Salford City, and we are positive that they will adopt yet another attack-minded approach. Keep in mind, though, that important midfielder Cole Skuse suffered an injury at the weekend.
The Robins, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Bristol Rovers. Swindon Town are eager to stay in the playoffs berth, but beating Colchester on the road is easier said than done. A close match is on the cards at Colchester Community Stadium, and we predict that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. Ben Garner is unlikely to make changes to the team that shared the spoils with the Pirates.
Highlighted Player (Frank Nouble):
Born in Lewisham, London on September 24, 1991, Frank Nouble is a product of the Chelsea football academy. Despite spending his youth career at the capital club, he did not see any game action with the Blues at senior level. Frank Nouble started his senior career at West Ham United, but he made no more than 13 league appearances for the Hammers.
Nowadays, he plays for Colchester United in the League Two. Frank Nouble, who has eight caps with the England U19 team, made his debut with the U’s on August 4, 2018, in a goalless draw with Notts County. He scored his first goal with Colchester United on September 15, 2018, in a 3-0 victory over Cambridge United.
Nouble’s primary position is centre-forward, but he is used as both left and right winger as well. The 190-cm-tall footballer wears the number 45 jersey at Colchester United, and his preferred foot is right.
Highlighted Team (Swindon):
Founded by Reverend William Pitt of Liddington in 1879, Swindon Town are an English football club which compete in the League Two. The Robins welcome their rivals at County Ground, the stadium which can hold up to 15,728 spectators (all-seated), with the team wearing red shirts and white shorts when playing at home.
Gray is the dominant colour of the club which turned professional in 1894. Oxford United are considered the team’s main rivals, but the Robins have rivalries with Bristol City, Bristol Rovers, and Reading as well. In 1969 Swindon Town did remarkably well to win the English League Cup, with the team beating Arsenal 3-1 in the title game at Wembley Stadium.
John Trollope is the club’s player with most appearances as he played 889 first-team games from 1960 to 1980. Premier League attacker Charlie Austin is one of the most notable footballers who played for Swindon Town in the past.
