Prediction: 1-0
Colchester
Walsall will be looking to continue their fine form in the League Two as they take on Colchester United at the Poundland Bescot Stadium. The Saddlers have been flying high recently, beating both Bradford City and Salford City, which has boosted their confidence. With no fresh injury concerns, the hosts will be eager to maintain their momentum and give fans yet another reason to celebrate.
Colchester United, meanwhile, have struggled away from home this season, and they face yet another tough task this weekend. However, one bright spot for the U's has been Lyle Taylor, who scored a brace in their recent 2-2 draw with Tranmere. He will be the key man to watch for the visitors as they look to cause an upset. Despite Taylor's form, Colchester's difficulties on the road are hard to ignore, and Walsall's recent performances make them the favorites heading into this match. Taking everything into account, there is a big value in betting on the home side.
