Saturday’s football game at Colchester Community Stadium pits together Colchester and Oldham in what should be a close League Two encounter. Colchester played out a 2-2 draw with Accrington in their opener, showing good character after their EFL Cup defeat to Southampton. The U’s have won four of their last 10 matches and average 1.30 goals per game during that run. Key midfielder Teddy Bishop picked up a knock at the weekend and could be sorely missed, with Jake Leake ready to step up.
Oldham, meanwhile, made a winning start to the campaign by beating Port Vale 2-0. Calum Kavanagh will be the man to watch after scoring both goals in the opener, and the Latics have scored in eight of their last 10 matches. However, their away form remains a concern, with just one win in their last six away games and an average of 2.00 goals conceded per match during that spell.
The U’s have lost only one of their last five home matches, while Oldham have won just once in their last six away games. Therefore, Home Win should be considered, alongside Under 3.5 (70% H2H) and Under 2.5 goals (65%).
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 22 August 2026 at 15:00.
