Prediction: 1-1
Morecambe
Colchester United and Morecambe go head to head at Colchester Community Stadium in the League Two round 19. Colchester have been having their ups and downs of late, and it has to be noted that they had no more than seven goal attempts in a midweek defeat to Cambridge United. Morecambe, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run at home, with the team eyeing their fourth away triumph of the season.
The Shrimps aim to regain their spot in top seven, but beating Colchester on the road is easier said than done. A close encounter is on the cards, and we believe that punters can find value in betting on draw. Keep in mind that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of their previous seven meetings in all competitions. Last time out they shared the spoils in the League Two.
