Yeovil Town vs Colchester Predictions

At this stage of the season the fixture list can throw up plenty of entertaining fixtures, with clashes affecting the title race, the play-off picture or the battle to stay in the league. This Easter Monday sees a vital clash in the context of the relegation picture as Yeovil Town look to boost their bid for survival as they welcome an out of form Colchester United side who are still in the play-off hunt to Huish Park.

It is fair to say that 2019 has not exactly gone to plan for Yeovil Town as they have gone from a pretty comfortable position towards the middle of the division, into a side who seem incapable of preventing themselves from dropping down the division and into the relegation zone. The hosts have failed to record a victory in any of their previous eight outings and, with just one point recorded in that spell, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone to learn that they are now in the bottom two.

The league table certainly suggests that Colchester United still have a shot at the top seven as they go into this contest just two points off the play-off places. However, their hopes of securing that top seven place are rapidly fading as they also enter into this match having lost five of their last seven outings, although they were able to record a victory last time out. A major reason behind their inability to secure the points is down to their failure to find the back of the net, with all five of those defeats being lost to nil.

With the form of the hosts going into this fixture and the fact that the 19 points they have managed on home soil so far this season represents the worst home record in the division, it is hard to imagine them ending that bad run on Easter Monday. When you throw in the fact that their visitors won last time out and are looking to keep their play-off bid alive, then backing an away win seems to represent the best chance of a decent return.
