Colchester United host MK Dons in what promises to be an entertaining League Two clash between two sides level on 1.80 PPG overall. Therefore, a 2-2 draw is on the cards at Colchester Community Stadium. The U's have been especially strong at home, collecting 2.00 PPG and conceding just 0.40 goals per match, supported by an impressive 60% clean-sheet rate on home turf. Their attack remains reliable with 1.60 goals scored per home game, and the recent 1-1 draw with Gillingham extended their unbeaten run. With an expected goals of 1.74 at home, the U’s continue to create chances consistently. There are no fresh injury worries for Colchester.
MK Dons have been in a promising form as well, having lost just one of their last five. Their away matches tend to be open, averaging 4.33 total goals, with the Dons scoring 2.67 per game on the road. Defensively they are less stable away from home, conceding 1.67, but their expected goals of 1.94 suggests they can trouble any backline. They also lead the H2H with 11 wins from 20 meetings. Defender Kane Wilson is injured for MK Dons, but they have strength in depth.
