Our prediction for this League 2 match:
County Ground will host Wednesday’s football game between Swindon Town and Colchester United. The Robins are undefeated in the previous three league matches, but they need to start winning on a regular basis if they are to avoid relegation. George Cox has overcome his minor injury, while important attacker Harry Smith should be recalled to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in a 1-1 draw with Bromley.
The U’s, on the other hand, aim to extend their unbeaten run to ten games. Swindon, though, have been showing signs of improvement of late and we predict that they are going to grab something from the midweek clash. Arthur Read should miss out with injury for the visiting side. In their last meeting in the English fourth tier, Colchester rolled over Swindon 4-0, but a close encounter is on the cards this time out.
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.
