Swindon will be aiming to build on their impressive midweek victory when Colchester United visit the County Ground. The Robins beat Port Vale 3-1 and produced 2.49 xG, offering plenty of encouragement ahead of round five. They have also won 50% of their last 10 home matches, scoring an impressive 2.00 goals per game. Ryan Tafazolli picked up a knock in midweek, with Ben Middlemas ready to step in.
Colchester, meanwhile, were disappointing in a 2-0 defeat to Bristol Rovers, managing only 0.86 xG. The U’s have been inconsistent away from home, winning just 20% of their last 10 road games and failing to score in 60% of them. Vincent-Young and Sesay are both pushing for starting roles as Colchester look for a response following their under-par performance at Bristol Rovers.
Swindon have won half of their last 10 home matches and arrive off a 3-1 victory. Therefore, our main prediction leans toward Home Win, alongside Swindon Over 1.5 and Swindon to Score First.
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 5 September 2026 at 15:00.
