Skysports 2: Sun 14.00: Both Chesterfield and Swindon are 14/1 with BetVictor to win the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy on penalties.
Despite the fact that they’re currently in League Two and will be facing League One opposition in the shape of Chesterfield, it’s Swindon that are expected to lift the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy, Ladbrokes marking 11/8 against a Robins success in normal time.
This is because the Spireites, a 12/5 chance with Boylesports, are currently propping up the table while Paulo Di Canio’s side are in top spot so there’s effectively only one league position between the two teams and it could be argued that Swindon are in fact a stronger team given that they are seemingly heading in the opposite direction to their opponents.
However, Chesterfield have defied their league form in this competition this term so they shouldn’t written off and in what could be a tight affair, Boylesports post a tasty 5/2 against it requiring extra-time.
Subsequently, a 1-1 stalemate, at 6/1 (William Hill) shouldn’t be ruled out and with that in mind, the bold can tackle BetVictor’s 14/1 for the Spireites to prevail on penalties and also cover themselves by backing Swindon on identical terms to nick it from the spot.
Recommended Bets:
Swindon to win on penalties – 14/1 (BetVictor)
