Colchester vs Walsall: our match analysis
Why this is our tip
- Table. Colchester: 23rd, 12 points from 13 matches (2W 6D 5L). Walsall: 3rd, 22 points (5W 7D 1L).
- Attack and defence. Goals per game in this competition: Colchester 0.9 scored and 1.3 conceded, Walsall 1.5 scored and 0.9 conceded.

What to expect
We see a fairly level contest. The projected scoreline is 1–1, close to 2 goals in the game, and the outcome we rate highest is 1–1 (11.7%). We expect goals and an open game.
The two signals clash: on table position the Walsall look stronger, yet the bookmakers rate the home side a little higher. A game like that is hard to predict, so playing it safer with your bets makes sense.
On goals we like Both teams to score (odds 1.62), with a probability of 59% by our reckoning. By our numbers, both teams scoring is 59% and over 2.5 goals is 55%.
