Bradford
After failing to win the previous four league matches, Colchester United will look to get back on course in League Two when they host Bradford City to their Colchester Community Stadium. The U’s have been struggling at the back of late and it is no wonder the odds for away win are dropping rapidly. Talented forward Bradley Ihionvein is pushing for a rare start after scoring as a substitute in a 2-2 draw with Swindon Town at the weekend.
The Bantams, on the other hand, aim to recover from back-to-back league defeats to Crewe and Crawley Town. Bradford City are on a four-game winless run in the League Two and seeing that they ere eager to return to winning ways as well, both teams to score betting option should be considered. In their last meeting in the English fourth tier Bradford City defeated Colchester United 2-1. There are no fresh injury worries in the away side.
