Colchester vs Walsall Prediction & Betting Tips | 16/03/2024 | Football

Posted on by Matthew Reynolds

Our forecast for this game in League 2:

Colchester

Colchester

Walsall

Walsall

The teams of Colchester and Walsall will face each other at Colchester Community Stadium in a highly anticipated League Two matchup. Colchester has not won a game in six consecutive matches in the fourth tier of English football, but a victory against Walsall could help them avoid being relegated. Mandela Egbo is uncertain to play due to an injury sustained in the previous league game, potentially giving way for Riley Harbottle to take his place.

The Saddlers have an opportunity to reclaim their place in the top seven and are expected to push for a victory. Therefore, we predict that both teams will score in this match. Mo Faal was injured in the previous draw against Barrow, so Douglas James-Taylor is likely to take his place in the starting lineup. It is worth noting that in their recent three games in the fourth tier of English football, there have been under 2.5 goals scored.

The scheduled game will take place on 03/16/2024 at 4:00 PM.

Prediction:
1-1
