Team Total Goals Prediction: Morecambe Over 1.5
Both sides have had serious struggles in recent months and this makes this matchup much more important. Colchester are dangerously close to the relegation zone and have to win this match. At the same time, they have the weakest defense in the entire league and have conceded 55 goals in 28 fixtures, almost exactly 2 per game on average. Morecambe have not had the greatest success lately but we do believe that they will take this opportunity and score goals.
Match Result Prediction: Morecambe to Win
Morecambe finally ended their winless streak with a win over one of the main contenders this season and we expect them to be extra motivated to win this fixture too. Colchester are having their worst period since the start of the season and have a single win in the last ten fixtures. They lost seven out of ten too. Their defense is terrible and their attack often fails to even create chances, let alone score goals. This is a huge opportunity for Morecambe and the win would put them close to the playoff zone.
Correct Score Prediction: 2-0 to Morecambe
This fixture may surprise us with a higher scoreline but we do not think that the over is a safe pick. Colchester have had too many games when they failed to score and Morecambe are actually quite solid at home. Few teams have conceded fewer goals than them at home since the start of the season. When we compare the Morecambe vs Colchester line ups, we do believe that the home team has the advantage here. They are not that much stronger but their defense is definitely better.
