Accrington Stanley vs Colchester United Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

It’s a clash of two sides who need the points for very different reasons but we are backing both teams to score when Accrington Stanley host Colchester this weekend and this is available at 8/11 with bet365. For our correct score tip we can’t separate the sides and we think they will play out a 2-2 draw, which is priced at 12/1 with the same site.

They may be the club that couldn’t die but on Tuesday Accrington were the club that just couldn’t kill off Mansfield, as the Stags repeatedly came from behind to claim a 4-4 draw. That entertaining game means Stanley are just a point above the drop zone and it marked a significant change in form from the leagues lowest scorers. Even though Stanley have scored just 30 times in their 29 games, an impressive 71% of their home games have finished with both teams scoring.

Visiting the Crown Ground is a Colchester side who will looking to bounce back from their midweek defeat in order to get their play-off hopes back on track. The U’s have only failed to score in two of their last 14 games so they should be more than confident of at least scoring when they travel to Lancashire on Saturday. Boss John McGreal will know his side have a very average record on their travels and with just one clean sheet in four they will also know that there is question marks over their defence.
