The model callColchester UnitedMatch result1.91★★★★2 starsLost

Colchester United return to their home ground with back to back wins behind them to suggest they can justify the nineteen to ten odds against Cheltenham Town. The visitors arrive with patchy form including a recent defeat and a draw which hints they might struggle to contain the hosts.

Why it might land
  • Colchester United come into this fixture at the JobServe Community Stadium after putting together two straight victories in their most recent outings.
  • The bookmakers offer a price of 191 for a Colchester United win which gives us a solid enough return on a team holding some winning momentum.
  • Cheltenham Town travel on the back of a recent defeat in their last five matches which shows they can be vulnerable on the road.
Why it might not
  • Cheltenham Town have also picked up two wins and two draws in their last five matches making them a stubborn side to break down.
  • Colchester United suffered two defeats just before their two recent wins which proves they are capable of slipping up unexpectedly.

Both teams to scoreYesPrice varies by bookWon

Both teams have enough scoring and conceding form in their recent results to suggest neither defence will keep a clean sheet.

Total goalsOver 2.5 goalsPrice 1.71Lost

At a price of 171 the over two point five goals line looks worth taking because both sides have shown mixed defensive results recently.

Edge Analysis

In depth
The matchup

The market makes Colchester United the side to beat here at 49%, which gives this game a clear shape before a ball is kicked. Our model lands on Colchester United, and it backs that with a 2 units stake. Colchester United return to their home ground with back to back wins behind them to suggest they can justify the nineteen to ten odds against Cheltenham Town. The visitors arrive with patchy form including a recent defeat and a draw which hints they might struggle to contain the hosts.

Form and momentum

Colchester United come in patchy, winning 33% of 6 on record. 2 of their 3 home games went their way, and the numbers point to a fairly even scoring record. Right now they are on 1 draw in a row.

Cheltenham Town come in solid, winning 50% of 6 on record. 1 of their 3 away games went their way, and the numbers point to games at both ends, plenty of goals either way. Right now they are on 1 win in a row.

The price and the value

The prices turn into 49% for COL, 26% for the draw and 25% for CHL once the bookmaker margin is stripped out. That is a firm lean toward Colchester United, so the question is whether the form backs the price or quietly argues against it. Our call sits at 1.91, and we only stake it because the reasons for it outweigh the reasons against.

Where it could go wrong
  • Cheltenham Town have also picked up two wins and two draws in their last five matches making them a stubborn side to break down.
  • Colchester United suffered two defeats just before their two recent wins which proves they are capable of slipping up unexpectedly.
The bottom line

We back Colchester United for 2 units. It settles itself when the game ends, win or lose, and it goes on the record either way. This is an opinion read off the form and the prices on this page, not advice, and never a promise of a result.

Colchester v Cheltenham: back the home win?

The site model has Colchester at nineteen to ten to beat Cheltenham at home after two wins on the bounce. Cheltenham have also won two of their last five so they might be tough to break down. What are...
