Our prediction for this match: Colchester 1 - 1 Exeter
Colchester vs Exeter Preview
Colchester United will be desperate to put an end to their eight-game winless run in all competitions after suffering a narrow 1-0 defeat to Newport County at the weekend. The U’s struggled to create clear chances in that encounter, managing just 0.61 expected goals, and they will need a significant improvement in the final third to turn their fortunes around. Forward Jaden Williams is suspended, leaving the hosts with fewer attacking options. However, Colchester have been more reliable at home, conceding just 0.80 goals per game in the supplied sample.
Exeter City, meanwhile, arrive in better spirits after recording consecutive victories over Rotherham and Shrewsbury. Sonny Cox made himself the hero against Shrewsbury by scoring the winning goal as a substitute, and he is expected to push for a starting role here. The Grecians have been solid defensively in recent weeks, although their away form has been less convincing than their overall results suggest.
Exeter have conceded just 1.00 goal per away game of late, while the U’s have failed to score in half of their recent home matches. Therefore, our main prediction leans toward Under 2.5 goals, alongside Half-Time Draw, and Draw.
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday, 17 October 2026 at 15:00.
