Colchester United and Crawley Town have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the League Two.
- Colchester United has the most conceded goals in the second half (16) in League Two
- Colchester United have scored at least twice as many goals at home as Crawley Town have scored away.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Colchester United form and stats
Colchester United have been very solid at home in the League Two so far, with 16 points collected from 6 matches (5-1-0). This has contributed greatly to their 10th position in the table. After failing to beat Oldham Athletic here at JobServe Community Stadium, Colchester has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with four wins in a row.
In their previous game, the manager S. Ball led his Colchester to a defeat in the League Two match away at Exeter City. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at JobServe Community Stadium. Before that, Colchester United played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Mansfield Town.
Colchester were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Colchester United as they have a new game in only four days, a League Two match thankfully also at home. Grimsby Town are visiting.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (13 in 6 games), Colchester United's attacking play is working. Colchester's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 6 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Crawley Town form and stats
Crawley Town have only collected 5 points from their away games in the League Two, after 1-2-4 (7 played).
Crawley might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Grimsby Town proved too strong as Crawley Town slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at The People's Pension Stadium. A 0-3 loss hosting Carlisle United before that.
Crawley has another fixture away, a League Two game, against Mansfield Town in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
The attacking power of Crawley Town when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 7 league matches away. As for defending, Crawley rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 11 goals from these away matches.
