Colchester

Both Teams To Score

With both sides struggling defensively and recent head-to-head trends supporting goals at both ends, backing both teams to score looks the best option for Saturday’s League Two clash.

Defensive issues continue for pair

Back both teams to get on the scoresheet in Saturday’s League Two clash between Shrewsbury and Colchester at the Crowd Meadow.

Colchester finished tenth in League Two last season, whilst Shrewsbury were relegated from League One.

After a goalless opening draw at home to Bromley, Shrewsbury lost 4-0 to Tranmere last weekend. The Shrews were priced as 13/5 outsiders to win the game, but still would have been hoping to be more competitive than the final margin of defeat.

They have kept just one clean sheet in nine matches, while Colchester have conceded in draws against Tranmere and Oldham this season. Back both teams to get on the scoresheet.

Four of Colchester’s last six away games in League Two have ended with both teams scoring, and Saturday’s clash at Shrewsbury should follow suit.

It could be hard to separate these two sides, with the 1-1 draw looking a decent correct-score bet. Under 2.5 goals was a winning bet in 30 of Colchester’s 46 League Two games last season and has landed in their last three matches.
