Colchester vs Tranmere Predictions

Tip Reasoning

• Under 2.5 goals has been a winner in eight of both Colchester’s and Tranmere’s last ten games
• Tranmere have conceded six goals in their last three games
• Colchester have failed to win in any of their last six league games

Colchester fighting to stay up

Colchester United currently occupy the last relegation spot as they sit fourth from bottom, 21st place in League Two, but are only two points away from 20th-placed Harrogate. They will be looking to pull themselves out of the relegation zone as they face a visit from an inconsistent Tranmere Rovers side.

Tranmere have won three, drawn one and lost six of their last ten games, and Colchester may see them as a reasonable target to start picking up some points. Under 2.5 goals has been a winner in eight of both sides’ last ten, and in a game where Colchester will be looking to keep things tight to increase their chances of a result, it looks likely for a prediction of under 2.5 goals to come in again.

Neither side in great form

As Tranmere have won just three of their last ten, while Colchester have won two in that time, neither side stands out as being especially likely to take all three points in this one. Colchester’s relegation fight should inspire them to start picking up points, and having drawn 39% of their home fixtures, it looks like this could be the case again on Saturday.

As a result, a correct score prediction of these two sides to draw 1-1 looks good, with neither side unlikely to shut out their opponent – as Tranmere have conceded six in their last three while Colchester have conceded at least once in nine of their last ten games.
