This seasons EFL Trophy has entered the knockout phase of the competition and we have reached the last 16 phase with a clash between two teams looking to book their ticket to the next round as Swindon take on Colchester.

Match result

Two League 2 teams from contrasting ends of the table meet in the last 16 of this year's EFL Trophy. Swindon are the better team at the moment as they sit in 4th spot in the League 2 table, they welcome Colchester who is having a tougher time of things and find themselves in 18th position. Swindon heads into this match with much better form, after having won four of their last five matches. Colchester has won two, lost two and drawn one of their last five matches. Although anything can happen in a cup game, the smart money has to be on Swindon to advance through to the next round.

Under 2.5 goals

This is a match that both teams will think they have a realistic chance of winning. Cup games can often explode into life after starting out as cagey affairs. When these sides met earlier in the season it ended up being 0-0 and we think that this could be another tight affair and we will be backing the under 2.5 goal market here. Swindon has seen 2.5 goals exceeded in three of their last five and Colchester in only two of their last five so this could be a match that could go either way here.

Both teams to score

As we mentioned above, the last two times these sides met, the game ended 0-0. Again these sides haven't been involved recently in games that have had a tonne of goals. Swindon has only seen both teams score in three of their last five, whereas Colchester has only seen both teams score in two of their last five. Again in what could be a tight contest, we are backing both teams not to score here.
