Crawley victory

Crawley Town have picked up back-to-back wins over Colchester United. Both teams have had plenty of weeks to prepare for this game, but it is very unlikely that the rest will have helped Colchester show any improvement. The visitors have only managed to away victories throughout the league campaign and they are winless in the last six league matches on the road. After back-to-back wins over Colchester, the home team have a psychological edge over their opponents.

Total goals under 2.5

The last four meetings between Crawley and Colchester has produced less than 2.5 goals. In fact, the last two meetings have ended up producing less than 1.5 goals. Colchester are without a goal in the last two outings and there is likely to be a shortage of goals from the visitors. Crawley have scored in four consecutive home matches and they also have momentum on their side to get goals, but it may not be sufficient for a high-scoring game.

BTTS – no

Crawley Town have not kept a clean sheet for more than a month after last managing the same back in November against Barrow. A run of four consecutive games with at least a goal conceded mean that Crawley have had to work hard for points. Colchester are without a goal in four out of the last five away matches. Just in League Two, Colchester have not scored in an away game since the middle of September.
