Colchester look to build on their strong run after a 2-1 win over Fleetwood, but they must cope without Flanagan, Iandolo, and Perry. As Colchester and Grimsby seem to be evenly matched at the moment, our prediction leans toward a 1-1 draw. Even with those absences, their recent form is impressive: five unbeaten (DDWWW) and an excellent 2.17 points per game at home. The U's also boast strong defensive numbers at home, conceding just 0.50 goals per match and keeping 50% clean sheets. Their attacking output is steady with 1.50 goals per home game, supported by 1.41 expected goals at home.
The Mariners travel with confidence after a 2-0 win against Cheltenham, extending their perfect streak to five straight victories. Grimsby average 1.75 points per game away, concede only 0.75 per away match, and keep 50% clean sheets on the road. Their attacking numbers remain modest at 1.00 away goals scored, but their defensive structure consistently keeps them competitive. Grimsby’s 1.22 expected goals away also suggests they create more than their raw goal tally shows.
Historically, Colchester hold a slight edge with 8 wins from 17 H2H meetings, though Grimsby remain competitive. Anyhow, Under 2.5 goals is our main betting tip as both teams show strong defensive trends. Additionally, Draw and Half-Time Draw markets seem tempting.
This League 2 match will be played on Tuesday 27 January 2026 at 19:45.
