Colchester will be looking to put an end to their three-game winless run when they take on Cheltenham on Saturday aftenroon, with defensive problems remaining a concern for the home side. The U’s played out a 1-1 draw with Crewe Alexandra last time out and have conceded 1.30 goals per game across their last 10 matches. Their home fixtures have been somewhat tighter, averaging just 1.80 goals, but Colchester have still failed to keep a clean sheet in four of their last five at home. Moses Sesay could drop to the bench following a poor display, with Frankie Terry pushing for a start.
Cheltenham, on the other hand, have been scoring goals for fun and are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. The Robins proved their worth with a convincing 3-1 victory over Crawley and have averaged an impressive 4.00 goals per game across their last 10 matches. BTTS has landed in 90% of those fixtures, while their recent away games average 3.75 goals. League Two top scorer Charlie McCann will be the man to watch.
As 56% of the previous 16 H2H clashes cleared the 2.5-goal line and Cheltenham’s away matches average 3.75 goals, we are tempted to bet on Over 2.5 goals, alongside Over 1.5 goals and Both Teams to Score.
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 19 September 2026 at 15:00.
