Colchester United vs Barnet Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

It’s a battle of two sides with play-off hopes and for our tip we are backing both teams to score at 8/11 with bet365 when Colchester host Barnet this weekend. For our correct score prediction we think that Colchester will continue their recent impressive form on home soil and we are backing them to come away with a 2-1 victory, which is priced at 15/2 with the same site.

Colchester have failed to win their previous three matches, but with all three of those games coming on the road they will be pleased to get back to their own turf where they have won four in a row. They have also only failed to score in 17% of their home matches this season and with top scorer Kurtis Guthrie scoring four since the turn of the year they should be confident of managing to find the back of the net once again.

Barnet are yet to fail to score on their travels this season and the prowess in front of goal has helped them to the sixth best away record in League Two. The Bees have seen both teams score in their away games with regularity and 71% of their games on the road have finished up this way.

We can also take confidence in the head to head, where 13 of 17 meetings between these two sides have finished with both teams scoring. That record could be further improved when we consider that Colchester kept a clean sheet in the first meeting between the sides, which was an FA Cup tie in 1971, before Barnet was a Football League side.
