Match description

Swindon Town (5th) appears to be the favorite: they have 22 wins this season versus Colchester’s 15 and 67 goals scored to the hosts’ 53. In the last 5 matches Swindon have scored 7 goals, with 3 wins and 2 draws (0 losses) and an average of 2.2 pts per match, while Colchester have scored only 3 goals, with 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses and 0.8 pts per match. Colchester at home record higher possession (57%) and average xG 1.57 with 13.75 shots per game, whereas Swindon away average 53% possession, xG 1.39 and 11.71 shots; however Swindon’s shot conversion is 13% versus Colchester’s 11%, and the visitors fail to score in only 10% of away matches (hosts 30% FTS). Defensively Colchester concede 1.05 goals per game at home with xG against 1.16, while Swindon concede 1.19 goals away with xG against 1.56, suggesting the visitors allow more high-quality chances but nonetheless keep clean sheets more often (33% vs 25%). Considering superior form (2.2 vs 0.8 pts), higher conversion and lower percentage of matches without scoring, I predict a Swindon win; probabilities estimated at 55% for the visitors, 25% for the hosts and 20% for a draw.
