Colchester vs Forest Green: Top Free Betting Tips
Colchester will face Forest Green in a curious fixture from the bottom of the table in League Two. Here are our predictions.
Contents
Both Teams To Score Prediction: Yes
This is a massive game in the sense that these are two teams that are fighting for their place in the league and both should win at all costs. Neither side is good at scoring goals but the important fact is that they are both terrible in defense. Colchester have the 2nd weakest defense in the league and have conceded 55 goals in 29 fixtures. Forest Green are not far behind with 50 conceded goals in 28 fixtures. Both sides have to score goals and we expect at least one per side.
Match Result Prediction: Draw
This is a huge gamble and we would recommend skipping this market if you do not want to risk your money. However, we do not have any reason to bet on either side to win here. Both sides are absolutely abysmal. Colchester got their first win since mid-December last week and it wasn't a very convincing performance at all. Forest Green have not won a match since early December and their performances give zero reasons to believe in them here.
Correct Score Prediction: 1-1 Draw
This fixture may surprise us with more goals than anticipated but we simply cannot bet on a higher scoreline here. Forest Green have 2nd weakest attack in the entire league but they actually scored 5 goals past Colchester in their previous match. We definitely can't expect the same outcome but we do believe that they will score at least once. They have been scoring more goals lately but still, rarely more than one per game. When we compare the Colchester vs Forest Green line ups, we believe that the hosts generally have a slight advantage in strength.
How Far Will Forest Green Fans Travel To Colchester?
Away fans have to travel hours if they want to get to the stadium on time. The distance between the two cities is about 180 miles each way. Of course, you can also choose to travel by train, which, however, passes through London and this extends the journey by over an hour and a half in each direction.
