Scunthorpe
Colchester United and Scunthorpe United square off against each other at Colchester Community Stadium on Friday evening. Colchester have yet to record a win in 2021, with the team sharing the spoils with Cambridge United and Stevenage, while suffering a heavy 3-0 loss to Morecambe. The U’s have been struggling in front of goal of late, and it should come as no surprise the odds for away win have been dropping.
Midfielder Harry Pell remains on the sidelines through suspension. The Iron, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Grimsby Town and Port Vale, and given the atmosphere in the home team’s dressing room, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visiting team. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Ryan Loft, who scored a brace in the 2-0 win over Port Vale.
Highlighted Player (Ben Stevenson):
Ben Stevenson is a product of a Coventry City football academy who plays for Colchester United as a midfielder. Born in Leicester on March 23, 1997, Stevenson started his senior career at Coventry City and made his debut with the Sky Blues on August 9, 2016, in the League Cup game against Portsmouth.
The English footballer moved to Wolverhampton in the 2018/2019 season, but he did not see any game action in the league with the Wolves.

He made his second debut for Colchester United against Northampton Town on February 2, 2019.
His primary position is central midfield, but he is capable of producing good performances as a defensive midfielder as well. His preferred foot is right, and he wears the number 24 shirt at Colchester.
