Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Buoyed by back-to-back wins over Swindon and Cheltenham, Barnet will look to move closer to the playoffs berth when they face Colchester on Matchday 6. The Bees have been flying pretty high of late and, as a result, the odds for home are rapidly dropping. Midfielder Emmanuel Osadebe is banned for Saturday’s clash, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The U’s, on the other hand, aim to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Cambridge United (1-2) and Barrow (0-2), but given their difficulties in front of goal, we are tempted to bet on the in-form hosts this time out. To make things even worse for the visitors, defender Tom Flanagan limped off with injury in the last league match, while both Ellis Iandolo and Ben Perry remain in the recovery room. There are no suspended players in the away team.
