Best Tip: Both teams to score

Both Colchester and Swindon supporters may have some reason for celebration ahead as their clubs go head-to-head, with KickOff's prediction of both teams to score looking a much better pick than any bet on the full time result market. The two sides have goals in them, as is borne out by the statistics and past head-to-head data below. Even the bookmakers odds are not finding real separation between the sides, a sign of the qualities (or lack of) each side possesses. Both teams to score is the way to go here.
