Colchester United host Swindon Town in a match with significant Playoff implications in League Two on Friday night. While The U's hopes are relatively slim, the visiting Robins are very much in the thick of the playoff battle and still have automatic promotion hopes too. This should be a key game to kick off the weekend and here's our prediction for what will be a tricky match.
The current L2 table sees Swindon Town lying in fifth place in the table with 74 points from 42 games. They are eight clear of Crewe just outside the playoffs and only two points behind Notts County and MK Dons in the second and third automatic promotion spots. Colchester lie 13th in the table with 57 points from 41 games, 11 points outside of the playoffs.
Colchester's recent form heading into this game isn't particularly inspiring. The U's recent run saw them lose 1-0 away to leaders Bromley and then they were held 1-1 at home by Walsall. A 3-1 home defeat by Oldham Athletic followed but on Easter Monday the U's did secure a 1-0 win away at struggling Tranmere Rovers.
In contrast, Swindon's recent form is good. They too earned a 1-0 win away at Tranmere Rovers before earning two 1-1 draws in successive games, the first at home to Fleetwood, the second away to Cambridge. They then earned a 2-1 home win against Walsall on Easter Monday.

Our Colchester vs Swindon Town Prediction
Our prediction for the Colchester United vs. Swindon Town League Two match is: Swindon wins.
Both teams won on Easter Monday, but that is where the similarity in recent form ends between the two teams. Danny Cowley's U's have struggled with just one win in six, whereas Ian Holloway's Robins have found some good form heading into the crucial end of season period. Swindon are also a very good away team, losing just one of their last seven on the road, winning four. As such, we are backing Swindon to land a very important win here.
