Swindon vs Sutton United Predictions

• Swindon have League Two’s second-best attack, scoring 59 goals in 36 matches this season.
• Sutton, meanwhile, have netted the fourth-most, hitting the net 53 times in 35 games.
• Swindon edged Sutton 2-1 in an entertaining game in October.
• Both teams have scored in three of Swindon’s last four matches.

Both teams could net when playoff hopefuls meet

Just one point and one place in the League Two table separates Swindon Town and Sutton United ahead of their County Ground meeting on Tuesday night. With Swindon winning 2-1 on Sutton’s ground earlier this season, can the visitors get their revenge as they chase successive promotions?

Those expecting entertainment should not be disappointed; while Swindon’s return of 59 goals gives them League Two’s second-most lethal attack, Sutton have scored just six goals fewer in one game fewer, to sit fourth in the division by the same measure. Meanwhile, both teams have found the net in three of Swindon’s last four games, and Sutton have rattled home seven goals in their last three league outings.

Backing both teams to net could make even more sense when considering the question marks which shroud both sides, which could put punters off backing either to win. Swindon may have an outstanding away record, but a return of just six wins from 18 home matches is just the 12^th-best such record in the division. Sutton, meanwhile, have only won two of their last eight league games, drawing four.

Goals at both ends the safest play

Taking into account the poor form of Sutton and the questionable home record of Swindon, backing both teams to net, as was the case when Ben Garner’s Robins won at Sutton earlier this term, looks to be the safest play.

In terms of a correct score prediction, Swindon have managed four wins in their last six league outings, so backing them for a repeat of that 2-1 triumph could be prudent.
