Northampton vs Colchester Preview
Northampton will be looking to bounce back from their 1-0 defeat to Tranmere as they look to climb out of the relegation zone. The Saddlers created 1.91 expected goals in that match but failed to find the net, highlighting their need to be more clinical in front of goal. Liam Shaw remains sidelined through injury, while the hosts have struggled to make home advantage count, recording just one victory on their own turf this season and scoring only twice. Their recent home statistics also make it clear that goals could be at a premium.
Colchester, meanwhile, are enduring an eight-game winless run and remain under pressure to pull away from danger. The U’s shared the points with Chesterfield in a 1-1 draw in midweek, with Ben Perry pushing for a starting role after scoring as a substitute. However, their away form remains a major concern: Colchester have failed to win any of their recent road matches and have conceded an average of 2.00 goals per game away from home. They will need a more disciplined defensive display to leave Northampton with points.
Northampton’s superior head-to-head record and Colchester’s poor away performances give the hosts a slight edge. With Northampton scoring just 0.50 goals per home game and Colchester conceding 2.00 per away match, Under 2.5 and Under 3.5 goals markets should be considered, alongside Home Win.
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday, 24 October 2026 at 12:30.
