Let's all look at Colchester United - Salford City! Even with their varied results, this fixture could be awesome!
- Colchester United have yet to win a game at home.
- Salford City have the fewest points (0) away in League Two
These are hustling days for the home side, as they had a match only four days ago in the EFL Trophy. This match was also played here at JobServe Community Stadium. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Salford City have had more rest.
Colchester United form and stats
Colchester United have played three League Two home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.
T. Eastman was the last player to score a league goal for Colchester and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Colchester United haven't scored in 190 minutes.
Colchester United's previous game was a EFL Trophy match also played at home, ending 1-0 versus West Ham United U21. The home side are looking to build on that result.
A 0-0 draw away in the League Two before that, with Swindon Town the opponent.Colchester has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 1 goal from 3 games. 3 goals have been conceded.
Salford City form and stats
It's not happening yet for Salford City on their League Two travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on G. Bowyer, the Salford manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
Salford's last game was the home draw against Northampton Town (2-2). Ashley Eastham, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.9. Eastham scored one goal and won 12 of 16 duels.
A 0-2 defeat away at Tranmere Rovers before that.After this away game Salford City return home for a EFL Trophy game against Tranmere Rovers. That game is only three sleeps after this.
