Cheltenham vs Colchester Preview
Cheltenham Town head into the final game of the season looking to bounce back from a heavy 4-0 defeat to Bristol Rovers. Despite that setback, their recent numbers are fairly solid, averaging 1.40 points per game across the last ten outings. As Colchester are not regarded as good travellers, we predict a 2-1 home win. Matches involving Cheltenham tend to be open, with 3.00 total goals per game and a strong 80% BTTS rate at home. Mo Faal and Arkell Jude-Boyd are both pushing for a start, which could freshen up their attack that averages 1.40 goals per match.
Colchester United, meanwhile, sit safely in mid-table but have struggled for consistency, picking up just 1.10 points per game. Their biggest issue is in attack, scoring only 0.80 goals per match and failing to score in 50% of games. Away from home, that drops to just 0.25 goals per game. The expected return of Kyreece Lisbie should boost their frontline.
As Cheltenham’s games average 3.00 goals, we are tempted to place our bets on Over 2.5 goals, alongside Cheltenham to Win and Cheltenham Over 1.5 (stronger attack and home form give them the edge).
