Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Colchester and Hartlepool go head to head at Colchester Community Stadium in what is expected to be a close League Two encounter. The U’s aim to bounce back from a 3-0 loss to Northampton, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Pools. Boss Wayne Brown should opt to make changes to the team that suffered the loss at the weekend, with both Andrews and Chilvers pushing for a start.
Hartlepool, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Sutton. The Pools want to keep their playoffs hopes alive, and given Colchester’s poor form, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the visiting team. You should know that the two sides meet for the first time since February 25, 2017. Back then Colchester defeated Hartlepool 2-1.
