Colchester United vs Grimsby Town Predictions & Betting Tips, Match Preview

It’s been a good start to life in League Two for Colchester United following their relegation and they will be keen to maintain their unbeaten start when newly promoted Grimsby visit the Colchester Community Stadium. It was a comfortable win at the weekend at home to a Cambridge side that are expected to challenge for the play-offs this year so they certainly seem to have settled to their new level quickly and if the early season form is anything to go by then they should be in the running when it comes to decide who gets into League One next season. John McGreal opted for youth in the majority of his signings so it will be interesting to see if the older heads can help maintain the teams shape and confidence when a few bad results come their way.

Visiting the Colchester Community Stadium on Tuesday will be newly promoted Grimsby who will be looking to bounce back from their disappointing late defeat at the weekend. Town manager Paul Hurst bemoaned his sides passing ability on that day and if they put on a similar performance then they will struggle against a side who have so far shown themselves to be more than capable with the ball.

We like Colchester for the win on this one but we think it will be a low scoring affair. There are a number of markets that catch our eye but we’re going to opt for Both Teams to Score – No, which is available at 4/5 with bet365. In terms of a correct score prediction we like the looks of a 1-0 Colchester win which is available at 13/2 with the same site.
