Colchester United vs Grimsby Town
Colchester Utd in an attempt to catch up to 4th place ahead of League Two’s 32nd week. They will be re-appointed as hosts to host Grimsby Town at the Community Stadium. Opportunities at home will be used to realize dreams.
Colchester Utd also acted as host when visited by Plymouth Argyle last Saturday (8/2). They also won 3-0 thanks to Ben Stevenson’s opening goal (14 ‘) and brace Theo Robinson (30’, 35 ‘). These results helped them rank fifth with a difference of two points from the visitors on it, while keeping the home record this year to be 3 wins and 2 draws.
Turning to the enemy camp, Grimsby Town struggled to bring a 1-1 draw from home to Bradford City. They visited the same day last weekend and were only able to score a goal in the 90 + 2 minutes’ through the efforts of Luke Hendrie. The problem is, one extra number can only help them sit in rank 18 with a difference of one number from the three participants below.
The draw is also evidence of inconsistency Grimsby Town in away games this year with 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss. Records like this are certainly too dangerous to be brought down to the Community where they have never won in the last four visits with a score of 2-0, 3-2, 1-1, and 1-0 for the host. With better conditions, this week’s duel will likely be the property of Colchester Utd.
Our Prediction: Under 2.5 goals
Odds: 1.60
