Cambridge United vs Swindon Predictions

• Under 2.5 goals has landed in seven of Cambridge United’s last eight games.
• These sides have conceded only two goals in their last six combined matches.

Goals at a premium at Abbey Stadium

Cambridge United’s lengthy unbeaten run was brought to an end in a 1-0 defeat at Barnet on Saturday, and another close-run affair is expected when they face fellow promotion hopefuls Swindon on Thursday.

The fourth-place U’s have the best defensive record in the division and their last three games have produced a total of two goals.

Under 2.5 goals has been a winner in seven of their last eight fourth-tier ties, and the visiting Robins have played out their fair share of low-scoring ties recently, too, with each of their last three fixtures featuring fewer than three goals.

The reverse meeting in August at County Ground was a five-goal thriller, but both of these sides have been tight at the back of late and backing under 2.5 goals appeals.

Four of Cambridge United’s last eight games have ended all square and Swindon have played out three draws in their last six. Five of these combined seven stalemates have ended 1-1 and, with just two points separating them in the table, that looks a likely final scoreline.
