Crawley return home searching for stability after a seven-game winless run and given Colchester's attacking potential, a high-scoring 2-2 draw is on the cards. The Red Devils average 1.60 points per game at Broadfield Stadium, scoring 2.00 goals per home match with an impressive 80% BTTS rate. Despite sitting on just 0.90 PPG overall, their attacking metrics remain solid, reflected by a home xG of 1.84. Defensively, the Red Devils concede 1.20 goals per home game, far better than their away figure of 2.60. Crucially, there are no fresh injury worries for Crawley, allowing Scott Lindsey to keep continuity in selection.
The U'S travel in excellent spirits after a commanding 4–1 win over Newport, and their away form has been strong all season, earning 2.00 points per game on the road. They score freely away from home, averaging 2.67 goals, contributing to a high 4.33 total goals per away match. Their xGA away sits at 1.77, showing difficulties at the back, but their attacking sharpness often compensates. After such a dominant performance last weekend, there should be no changes in the visiting starting XI.
As Crawley see BTTS in 80% of home games and Colchester in 67% away, Both Teams to Score is our main betting tip, with additional value on Over 2.5 goals and Colchester Over 1.5 goals.
