As both Salford City and Colchester United are likely to adopt a cautious approach in Saturday’s clash, we predict that they will play out a 1-1 draw at Peninsula Stadium. Salford City host Colchester United in what promises to be an intriguing League Two clash. The Lions are without key midfielder Kelly N’Mai due to suspension, following his fifth yellow card in the midweek 1-1 draw with Fleetwood. Despite this, Salford have been competitive at home, winning 50% of their last six home games, scoring an average of 2.5 goals per match, but they have also conceded 2.17 goals per game, highlighting their problems at the back.
The U's, on the other hand, have been in a fine form of late, winning four of their last six games, with a solid defensive record on the road, conceding just 0.33 goals per away match. The U’s have scored at least once in each of their last three away fixtures, making them dangerous on the counter. Head-to-head, Colchester have historically edged Salford, winning 6 of the last 12 meetings.
Taking everything into account, we believe that there is big value in betting on Draw. Colchester or Draw and Colchester to Score bets also seem appealing as Salford have conceded in 67% of recent home matches.
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 13 December 2025 at 12:30.
