The Jobserve Community Stadium has been a welcome home for Colchester United of late and the U’s will be confident of picking up three points against ailing Crewe Alexandra on Good Friday. The Railwaymen have been amongst the League Two playoff spots for most of the season, but their form has tailed off considerably of late, making this match prediction seemingly straightforward.
After 42 games, just four points separate the two teams in the League Two table. Colchester lie eighth in the table, one place and one point outside the playoffs on 65 points. Crewe are eleventh with 61 points and with a poorer goal difference (+5 compared to Colchester’s +11).
Colchester have lost just twice since January 18th in League Two. Winning eleven, drawing five of their other 18 games. They come into this game on the back of two wins, a 1-0 home win over Notts County and then a 2-0 away win last weekend at Newport County.
Unfortunately, Crewe have hit a problematic run of form at just the wrong time of the season. They have lost three of their last four, although two defeats (1-0 at home to Port Vale and 2-0 away to Bradford City) were against the top two teams in League Two. Last weekend saw a real blow to their playoff hopes as they lost 3-2 at home to Cheltenham Town.

Our Colchester vs Crewe Alexandra Prediction

The U's have been in very good form of late, aside from a minor blip a few weeks back, and they face a Crewe side whose playoff hopes are fading fast on the back of a poor run of form. Just a point outside of the playoffs and with excellent form at home, the data all point to Colchester picking up a much-needed win here.
