Colchester 2-0

Reason for tip

Colchester have won the last two League Two meetings with Shrewsbury by 2-0, directly supporting the suggested scoreline. Shrewsbury have also rarely seen both teams score this season, pointing towards another match where one side could fail to find the net. Those trends support a 2-0 away victory.

Colchester can see off the Shrews again

Colchester are the best bet to win at Shrewsbury on Saturday. The hosts have struggled at the back this season, and Colchester can take advantage.

They are three places above Shrewsbury in the table, but just two points separate the two teams. Colchester, who are 15th having won two, drawn three and lost two of their seven games, face a Shrewsbury side who sit 18th with two wins and four defeats.

The hosts opened their campaign with four defeats from five, and they’ve won only two of the last nine meetings between the sides. Colchester have suffered defeats at Bristol Rovers and Swindon Town, but this looks like an easier game for the visitors.

Colchester have been 2-0 winners in the last two League Two meetings with Shrewsbury and, with the hosts rarely seeing both teams score this term, a 2-0 win for Colchester looks a decent correct-score bet.
