Prediction: 1-1
Barrow
Colchester United and Barrow face each other at Colchester Community Stadium in what is expected to be a close League Two game. The U’s played out a goalless draw with Bolton on Friday, with the team extending their winless run in the league to eight games. Colchester United have been struggling in front of goal of late, meaning that a low-scoring affair is on the cards at Colchester Community Stadium.
The Bluebirds, did well to beat Newport 2-1 at home on Matchday 39, but defeating the U’s on the road is easier said than done. In the first half of the season the two sides played out a 1-1 draw, and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on under 2.5 goals. You should bear in mind that under 2.5 goals have been netted in five of Barrow’s last six away games.

Ben Stevenson is a product of a Coventry City football academy who plays for Colchester United as a midfielder.

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.
Highlighted Team (Barrow):
Founded back in 1901, Barrow is an English club that competes in the League two, the fourth tier of the English football system.
