Colchester 1-0

Reason for tip

A tight, low-scoring game is supported by Walsall trends, with four of their last six league matches seeing at least one side fail to score. Eight of their 13 defeats have come by a single-goal margin, pointing towards a narrow Colchester victory in the correct-score market.

Solid hosts can secure the points

The best bet is a Colchester win when they host Walsall in League Two on Saturday.

Both teams have won more games than they have lost this season, with Walsall, in 11th place, having 17 wins from their 39 games, while Colchester have won 14.

Colchester will be optimistic of finding the net, having averaged 1.30 goals a game in their 20 League Two games against top-half teams this season. They have been particularly prolific at home, scoring an average of 1.63 goals a game in their eight matches.

Colchester have been impressive defensively at home this season, conceding just 17 goals in 18 League Two games – an average of 0.94 goals per game.

A narrow 1-0 victory for Colchester looks the most likely outcome in the correct-score market. Four of Walsall’s last six League Two games have ended with at least one of the sides failing to score, and eight of their 13 defeats have come by the odd goal.
