Plymouth Argyle vs Colchester United Predictions & Betting Tips, Match Preview

Table toppers Plymouth Argyle are the clear choice to win when they face Colchester United this weekend so we are delighted that they are being offered at evens with bet365 to take the points. We think it will be a comfortable afternoons work for the Pilgrims and are backing them to record a 3-0 win at 18/1 with the same site.

Plymouth have been in excellent form this season and after their opening 14 games they already have 32 points on the board, which is enough to give them a four point lead over their closest challengers. That form has meant that Home Park is quickly becoming a feared venue and Argyle currently have the third best home record in the division. That strength is further demonstrated when we look at their defensive record, with just 12 goals conceded this season Argyle have the strongest defence in League Two so far this season.

Visiting Home Park is a Colchester side who are woefully out of form and have failed to win in the last seven matches. The U’s were hoping for an immediate return to League One after relegation last season but this dip in form means that they have dropped to 16th position. Perhaps the most concerning thing for boss John McGreal is the lack of goals his side have scored, they have managed to find the back of the net just five times in the previous seven games and with them managing to keep a clean sheet in just 14% of their away games this season it is clear to see where their troubles are coming from.
