Win for Colchester
Colchester have picked up three wins in the last four league outings and this has been a decisive factor behind the team moving away from the drop zone in recent weeks. This prediction has witnessed Colchester making the most of games against teams around them in the table. The wins over Gillingham and Harrogate will provide the visitors with a huge deal of confidence. Even though Rochdale are coming on the back of a win, their overall performances have not been on par.
Total goals over 2.5
Colchester have created decent opportunities over the last few games. There have been over 2.5 goals in three out of the last five matches for Rochdale. This prediction expects the home team to be quite lackadaisical at the back. Rochdale have the third worst defence in the league with 37 goals conceded.
Both teams to score – yes
This is a game between two outfits who have bought conceded 30+ goals already this season. In terms of offensive form, both teams have been able to find a sweet spot of late and they have managed over a goal per game on average.
Rochdale vs Colchester: Preview, Form Analysis, and Team News
Rochdale
Rochdale have provided a sizeable boost to their survival hopes with the win over Bradford. The victory has provided the team with an opportunity to move out of the bottom two places whilst opening a one-point advantage over Hartlepool in the process. The upcoming match may see manager Jim Bentley continue with the same starting lineup, which performed especially well in the second half. There are no injury problems for the home team.
Colchester
Colchester have managed a staggering three wins in the last four games to rank as one of the top 10 teams in terms of recent form. Colchester were such a mess in the early part of the campaign that even after this run the club finds itself just four points above the bottom two. Alan Judge remains on the sidelines with a knee injury for manager Matt Bloomfield.
