Why it might land
  • Northampton Town picked up a recent win and a draw in their last five matches which gives them a foothold here.
  • Colchester United come into this fixture after a defeat and four straight draws which shows they lack a killer instinct.
  • Bookmakers offer Northampton Town at two point zero zero to win this match which is a fair price for the hosts.
Why it might not
  • Northampton Town suffered three defeats in their last five matches which proves they can be very fragile at the back.
  • Colchester United managed to draw four of their last five outings making them a stubborn side to beat outright.

Form and momentum

Northampton Town come in poor, winning 15% of 40 on record. 4 of their 19 home games went their way, and the numbers point to a fairly even scoring record. Right now they are on 3 losss in a row.

The price and the value

The prices turn into 47% for NHT, 28% for the draw and 25% for COL once the bookmaker margin is stripped out. That is a firm lean toward Northampton Town, so the question is whether the form backs the price or quietly argues against it. Our call sits at 2.00, and we only stake it because the reasons for it outweigh the reasons against.
