Why it might land
  • Walsall arrive at the JobServe Community Stadium with solid momentum after taking two wins and three draws from their last five outings.
  • Colchester United have failed to win any of their past five matches, recording four straight draws before a recent defeat.
  • Walsall are priced at 2.35 to win this away fixture, which offers fair value given their much better run of form.
Why it might not
  • Walsall have been held to draws in three of their last five matches, meaning they might struggle to break down a stubborn home defence.
  • Colchester are remarkably hard to beat despite their lack of wins, having drawn four out of their last five games on the bounce.

Members analysis

Edge Analysis

In depth
The matchup

The market makes Walsall the side to beat here at 40%, but only just, so this reads as a close call rather than a mismatch. Our model lands on Walsall, and it backs that with a 2 units stake. Walsall bring a stronger unbeaten run into this fixture and look decent value to edge past Colchester. The hosts have picked up four draws recently but struggle to turn those stalemates into victories.

Form and momentum

Colchester United come in poor, winning 22% of 9 on record. 2 of their 5 home games went their way, and the numbers point to a fairly even scoring record. Right now they are on 4 draws in a row.

Walsall come in patchy, winning 40% of 10 on record. 1 of their 4 away games went their way, and the numbers point to a side built on a tight back line. Right now they are on 1 win in a row.

The price and the value

The prices turn into 33% for COL, 27% for the draw and 40% for WAL once the bookmaker margin is stripped out. There is little between the two in the market, so the edge, if there is one, sits in the detail rather than the headline price. Our call sits at 2.35, and we only stake it because the reasons for it outweigh the reasons against.

Where it could go wrong
  • Walsall have been held to draws in three of their last five matches, meaning they might struggle to break down a stubborn home defence.
  • Colchester are remarkably hard to beat despite their lack of wins, having drawn four out of their last five games on the bounce.
The bottom line

We back Walsall 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.
