Swindon vs Southend Predictions
Here we see two teams who’ve been in contrasting form come together. Swindon are without a win now in five matches, while Southend are without a defeat in their last nine. Defence has been a real problem of late for Swindon, while Southend have looked good going forward – on this basis, things don’t look great for the hosts here.
It’s hard to ignore the form of these two right now. Southend are in sound form, while Swindon really aren’t. At odds of 7/5 Southend look a good bet to continue on the up by securing a win.
The main problem for Swindon of late is the fact that they’re conceding far too many goals. In their last five matches, they’ve conceded no less than 12 goals, scoring just five in reply. Against a side who’ve been both defending and attacking well, such figures don’t bode well.
Southend come into this match having had their winning streak ended against Charlton on New Years’ Eve (1-1), but they once again played well and really ought to have both scored more and won the game – they certainly had the chances to do so. However, against a leaky back-line like Swindon’s right now they can make amends.
The visitors have scored nine goals in their last four matches, conceding just two in the process. If they can keep to their defensive shape in this one and give little away – as they have been doing lately – then it would be no surprise if they hurt Swindon without too much effort at the other end.
All in all, this looks a good opportunity for an in-form side to keep going well against a side who’re very much out of form.
