Insights:
  • Colchester United haven’t played a single 0-0 game at home.

Colchester United are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Walsall is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
