Bristol Rovers host Colchester in a highly-anticipated League Two encounter, with 0-2 our predicted outcome due to the Pirates' poor home record. The Pirates, 20th in the table, will be boosted by a confident 3-0 win over Shrewsbury in their previous league outing, though they remain without forward Promise Omochere. Bristol Rovers have struggled at home this season, winning 0% of their last five home league matches and conceding 2.50 goals per game. Offensively, they average 1.17 goals at home, but have failed to score in half of their home matches.
Colchester, ninth in the table, arrive in better form, unbeaten in four of their last five league matches, including a 1-0 win over MK Dons. Away from home, they average 2.00 goals per game and have kept clean sheets in 20% of their fixtures. Head-to-head history shows a balanced record, with three wins apiece in eight meetings, and 63% of matches seeing both teams score.
Given Colchester's better form and attacking record, our prediction leans toward Away Win. Additionally, Under 3.5 and Under 2.5 goals markets seem tempting as 62% of their previous H2H meetings have featured 2 or fewer goals.
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 17 January 2026 at 15:00.
