Football – England – League Two Betting Tips

Colchester United suffered their first defeat in six matches when they went down to a 1-0 defeat away at Crewe Alexandra last Saturday, but they return to their Weston Homes Community Stadium this Saturday to take on bottom of League Two, Barnet.

Colchester’s recent promising run of matches included wins over Newport County and Coventry City, along with draws against Grimsby Town, Port Vale and Carlisle United, and they’ll be looking to register a third consecutive home win here today too.

John McGreal’s side have made themselves a difficult unit to break down in recent times as they’ve lost just once in their last 10 at home, which was a heavy 4-1 loss to Cheltenham Town, but they still possess a reasonable looking home record of  8-6-3  27/16, along with added incentive to take all three points today which would move them closer to the play-off pack.

Barnet’s woes continued on Tuesday night when they suffered a 3-1 defeat at home to Carlisle United, and they face a tough assignment when they make their way to Colchester having recorded just one league win from their last 12 matches overall in League Two.

Given this recent poor run of form, it’s no surprise that The Bees find themselves bottom of the pile, and six defeats from their last seven on the road just further confirms the serious relegation troubles they’re facing at the moment.

An away record of  2-3-12  17/31 tells its own story, as does failure to keep a single clean sheet on their travels so far this season, in addition to conceding 2 goals or more in no fewer than 10 of their 17 away matches to date.
