The fight for promotion in League Two is heating up and two of the main contenders go head to head with 5th placed Colchester hosting 3rd placed Mansfield.
Colchester enjoy a good record over Mansfield losing just one of their last 14 meetings in all competitions.
What’s more, the U’s seem to have found their scoring boots after producing six goals in their last two games. This is certainly an improvement on their earlier five games which saw Colchester score a disappointing total of two goals.
One player to keep in mind is Harry Pell. The forward has scored three goals in his last two appearances and is priced at 5/1 to score anytime.
Mansfield have struggled against Colchester in recent years. In fact, they have lost their last six trips to United since last getting a win in 1995.
However, this season their away from has been strong and has seen them lose just one of their last 16 away league games. What’s more, throughout this current campaign David Flitcroft’s side have kept the door tightly shut at the back conceding just 20 goals – the lowest amount in League Two.
Bearing all that in mind, the recommendation is a draw and both teams to score at 18/5.
