Colchester United vs Doncaster Rovers Betting Tips & Predictions

Colchester have had an absolutely shocking season so far, and it’s unlikely to get any better as we approach the end of the campaign. They sit at the bottom of League One with a meagre 28 points from their 37 games so far, a tally that puts them ten points adrift of safety.

They have started picking up a few points recently though, with one win, two draws, and two defeats in their last five outings being a vast improvement for them, although it does seem it’s too little too late for them.

A win on Friday could change all that. Doncaster Rovers sit in 21st position in the table, nine points better off than their hosts. A win for Colchester United would slash that gap to six points though, and then they could perhaps start dreaming of survival.

A win certainly isn’t out of the question either. Doncaster Rovers come into this match on the back of a five match losing streak, and they haven’t won since their first match of 2016. Ten of their 13 games since then have ended in defeat for the struggling side.

Away from home they have lost four on the bounce and scored just one goal in their last five outings. Colchester United, on the other hand, have been improving recently and have drawn their last three home matches, including an impressive 3-3 draw against promotion hopefuls Wigan last time out. This makes odds of 1.875 for a Colchester United 0.0 Asian Handicap Win look very good value, and I’m going for a 2-0 correct score prediction at 12/1 as well.
