Promotion-chasing Colchester aim to extend their winning run in all competitions to four games and we predict that they will do so with a 2-1 triumph over Gillingham. Colchester continue their strong run in League Two, winning four of their last five games and averaging an impressive 3.3 goals per match. The U’s are solid at home, winning two of their last three home fixtures and conceding just 1.1 goals per game overall. Their attacking efficiency, coupled with a clean defensive record in recent away games, makes them a tough side to break down. Forward Teddy Bishop misses out with injury, but he should not be sorely missed due to his poor goal-scoring record.
Gillingham’s struggles persist, with only one win in their last five outings and scoring inconsistently, particularly away from home. They have conceded 1.7 goals per match on average, highlighting vulnerabilities that Colchester could exploit. Historically, these fixtures tend to be open, with 67% of matches seeing over 1.5 goals and nearly half featuring both teams to score. Adding to their woes, Tom Flanagan misses out with injury. We predict that the former Liverpool man will be sorely missed in Saturday's game.
Given Colchester’s home dominance and Gillingham’s defensive issues, Colchester to Win, Over 1.5 Goals, and Both Teams to Score seem like the best betting options for this encounter.
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 29 November 2025 at 15:00.
