Form: Colchester WDLWLL (Home: WLDDWW) vs. Swindon LDDLDL (Away: LWLLLL)

Background:

Tenth placed Colchester United rank 10/24 for home form, while twenty-first placed Swindon Town rank 24/24 for away form, in this seasons League One campaign thus far.

The U’s should be aiming to take maximum points against a weak and out of form Robins side without a win in 8 League One matches. The Robins will take heart from the fact Hartlepool ended a similar winless streak against the U’s last weekend, and positive feedback from rival fans in recent weeks.

U’s Team News:

Injuries - Ben Williams (Back), Magnus Okounghae (Ankle), Brian Wilson (Ankle), John-Joe O’Toole (Knee)
