DomainJava.com – Swindon vs Colchester prediction in EFL League Two match, Swindon Town will try to distance themselves from the League Two relegation zone when they start 2025 by hosting Colchester United at The Nigel Eady County Ground on Wednesday.
Both teams managed to come from behind with 1-1 draws over the weekend, with the Robins claiming a point at Bromley and Colchester doing the same against Doncaster Rovers.
A solid December has allowed Swindon Town to bounce back above the relegation line, claiming a total of eight points last month.
They start the new year just three points above the relegation line, although they have played more games than two of the three teams below them in the table.
Ian Holloway’s men have lost just one of their previous six meetings in all competitions, suffering a 1-0 defeat against Bradford City in mid-December.
Swindon are on a two-game domestic winning streak at home heading into this upcoming fixture, beating their previous two opponents in Wiltshire by a combined scoreline of 6-2.
In the previous two seasons, the team has lost their first domestic match early in the calendar year, although they have not suffered three consecutive defeats since 2002.
The Robins are unbeaten in their last three home games against Colchester in all competitions, knocking them out of the FA Cup at the start of November (2-1 in extra time).
In Essex, Colchester United ended the year with good momentum, coming back to get a point last weekend for the seventh time in the domestic league this season after conceding the opening goal.
The seven points earned are the difference between 15th and 22nd place, with the U’s safely above the relegation line, nine points above Carlisle United.
Since that heartbreaking defeat to Swindon in the FA Cup, they have bounced back well, currently unbeaten in their last 11 games in all competitions.
Danny Cowley’s side have lost none of their last six domestic games away from home and have conceded no goals in three consecutive league games away from home.
The U’s had won just one of their previous seven football league games to open the calendar year, failing to score more than once in those games.
They are unbeaten in their last four league games against Swindon Town but have not won an away game against them in this competition since September 2019 (3-0).
There were six changes made to Swindon’s starting 11 over the weekend, with Nnamdi Ofoborh, Danny Butterworth, Aaron Drinan, Paul Glatzel, Billy Kirkman and Rosaire Longelo the new arrivals to the opening line-up.
