This could be an interesting match as Colchester United have their presumed home advantage while Cheltenham Town are ahead 5 points in the League Two table.
- Colchester United have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Cheltenham Town have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Colchester and Cheltenham Town.
Colchester United form and stats
Colchester United have performed here at JobServe Community Stadium this season with 6 wins from 9 League Two matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 2 games and lost 1. Colchester has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager S. Ball and the players.
The fans are hoping that Colchester will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the League Two game against Southend United (placed 23rd). Preceding that match was the home game against Morecambe that was lost 1-2.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Tranmere Rovers are coming to town in four days.
The Colchester United fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 17 goals in 9 league matches. 10 goals have been conceded.
Cheltenham Town form and stats
As the visiting team in League Two matches, Cheltenham Town have produced an overall stat of 5-1-3 so far.
Cheltenham have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 270 minutes ago. W. Boyle was the goal scorer.
The supporters enjoyed Cheltenham's previous game versus Stevenage (placed 24th), a League Two 1-0 win played at home. Preceding that game, the 0-3 loss visiting Barrow's place.
The schedule is very tough for Cheltenham now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A League Two game at Harrogate Town is waiting in only four days.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Cheltenham have scored 13 goals in 9 league games away. Cheltenham have conceded 9 goals in these away matches.
