Barnet vs Colchester United Predictions & Betting Tips, Match Preview

Barnet haven’t featured on the list of many people for the clubs to challenge for the end of season play-offs but, if they can maintain their impressive defensive record, then they might just be able to upset the odds. They will have been a little disappointed that they couldn’t finish off Newport County when the weather forced the match to be postponed, despite the Bees being in the lead and well in control. They reacted well to that, however, and were able to pick up all three points on the road to Mansfield when once again they kept another clean sheet on the way to a 1-0 victory.

Colchester have reacted well themselves and following their relegation last term from League One they currently sit in fifth position and are just two points behind the leaders. After suffering defeat to Portsmouth a few weeks ago the U’s have regrouped and are undefeated in their last three. This solid yet unspectacular start to the season has been built on a strong attack and although they have yet to impress away from home they are more than capable of taking all three points on Saturday.

It’s a difficult one to call for the outright win so we are going to stay clear of that bet. Instead we’re going to back one of the sides to keep a clean sheet and go with ‘Both Teams to Score – No’ which is available at 6/5 with bet365. For our correct score tip we are backing a tight game but think Colchester will just edge it with a 1-0 away win.
