Salford City vs Colchester Predictions

• Colchester have lost their last five league games, and gone without a win in eight matches.
• The visitors have failed to score on four of their last six outings.
• Salford have won three of their last five matches, and lost just one of their last five at home.

Colchester woes could deepen at Salford

Hayden Mullins’ Colchester United have had a dreadful start to 2022, and have now lost five League Two matches in succession, and gone eight without a win. Mullins’ charges have failed to score in four of their last six contests, slipping to within three points of the relegation zone.

The U’s are the joint-lowest scoring side in the fourth tier, finding the net just 19 times in their 24 league games this campaign, and have only netted nine times in their 13 away games in League Two, winning just twice on their travels.

Colchester will not hold out much hope of a win when they visit Salford on Saturday. The class-of-92-owned outfit are targeting the play-off places after an improved run of form, winning three of their last five games, and losing just one of their last five on their own turf.

Back hosts to continue strong home run

Salford have only lost two home league games this campaign, to fellow promotion contenders Swindon and Exeter, and beat Colchester 2-0 away from home earlier this season.

Backing Salford to beat their out-of-form visitors looks the outstanding play ahead of this game, and with Colchester having been so impotent this season, a repeat of that 2-0 triumph could be a decent correct score prediction.
