Prediction: 1-1
Colchester
Following a 3-0 loss to Bradford City, Cheltenham Town will look to get back on course in League Two when they face Colchester United on Matchday 36. The Robins have been producing fine performances at home of late, but they are still seen as underdogs in Saturday’s encounter. Midfielder Jordan Thomas is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while both Ryan Haynes and Harry Pell continue to miss out with injuries for the home team.
The U’s, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over MK Dons and Chesterfield Town. Anyhow, there is a big value in betting on draw as Cheltenham Town are tough to beat at their Whaddon Road. Speaking of the away team, the likes of Robert Hunt, Milton Oni, and Anthony Scully are out of contention with injuries. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in four of the previous five meetings between the two sides in League Two.
