Well, you aren’t going to look at a much more evenly matched contest in League Two this weekend than in this one. They have both produced the exact same W5 D1 L4 record for the season and are therefore sat level on sixteen points in mid-table. So this is a real up in the air type of game going down at the County Ground. That’s clearly reflected in the match outright odds as well with Swindon 6/4 to win at bet365 on home soil, with Cambridge at 2/1.
Swindon Form
The Robins are a bit of an up and down all over the place kind of side. They are just as capable of winning games as they are as throwing them away. At home, they have only won the one game this season in League Two but that did come against current top six side Stevenage, which was a bit of a surprise. The Robins have no clean sheets at home yet this season and they have been behind at half time in three of their five home games. It’s been strange stuff from them but 80% of their home games have gone above 2.5 goals.
Cambridge Form
So Cambridge are sat level with the Robins then and are carrying a bit more current winning form with four wins in their last six. They go into this one the back of an easy 3-0 win against bottom side Forest Green in midweek, but out on the road they are W2 L3 and have alternated between defeat and victory in each of their five road games. If the sequence continues, then they win this one. Cambridge have collected five clean sheets in their ten games so are better off defensively than the Robins are.
Head to Head News
It’s been fifteen years since these two last met in a league game. That was in the old Division 2 with Swindon winning both games. Across the overall head to head in all competitions, Swindon holds a W9 D2 L5 advantage. Really though, without any current head to head form, it’s hard to take anything from any of this.
Top Betting Tips
Cambridge are well worth a punt at 9/5 to win this one on the road. The Robins have been defensively slack at home for some reason and the U’s are defensively organised enough to hold them at bay pretty well while snatching a winner. They have scored in each of their last four away games so can nick this.
