Colchester vs Walsall Prediction & Betting Tips - League Two
by Ian John in Football Predictions
Colchester United host runaway League Two leaders Walsall on Saturday in what is an important game for both teams. The U’s better form of late has moved them away from the drop zone, while the Saddlers remain seven points clear. What will our match prediction be for what looks like a closely fought contest?
Danny Cowley’s Colchester have been battling at the wrong end of the table for most of the season, but a run of three wins in their last four has moved them onto 37 points from 28 games and up to 13th in the table. Despite two defeats in their last three, Walsall remain top of the table with 59 points from 28 games.
The U’s come into this game unbeaten in their last four. A run started with a 1-0 away win over Bromley followed by a 0-0 draw away to Harrogate Town. Then followed a 1-0 home win over Morecambe before last weekend’s 3-1 win away to Tranmere Rovers.
However, Matt Sadler’s Saddlers have not won in three league games. They lost both their last two away games without scoring; a 3-0 defeat at Bradford City followed by a 2-0 defeat away to Fleetwood Town. Last weekend, they did secure a point in a 2-2 home draw with Salford City. Prior to those three games, Walsall had won nine League Two games in a row.

Our Colchester vs Walsall Prediction
Our prediction for the Colchester United vs. Walsall League Two match is: Under 2.5 Goals.
This is a tricky one to predict. Until a few weeks ago, the data would strongly suggest a comfortable Walsall win. However, the Saddlers' recent poor form is a concern, as is their lack of goals. Generally speaking, Colchester doesn't score or concede too many goals, and combining those two key factors means the data suggests we will see a game of few chances and fewer goals.
