Forest Green vs Colchester Predictions and Match Preview

Forest Green are set to host Colchester at the New Lawn Stadium for their upcoming league fixture. Forest Green experienced a streak of poor outcomes prior to their recent Cup win. They remain at the bottom of the standings following a 2-1 league defeat to Accrington, which was although followed by a penalty shootout win against Walsall in the EFL Trophy after it finished 1-1.

Their opponents, Colchester, too, come into the game with a number of subpar performances. They sit 21st in the table after a 3-1 defeat to Morecambe in their previous league match.

Who will win the match between Forest Green vs Colchester?

We are counting on Colchester to pull off a win here. With their valiant efforts, including two wins in their last six league matches, they have demonstrated solid performances in a couple of recent matches.

Forest Green, on the other hand, has had a dismal league record. Their last six league matches have all ended in losses. Six of their last eight matches have ended in losses.

How many goals can be expected?

We expect goals in this match. In each of Forest Green’s last seven home matches, there have been more than 2.5 goals scored. Also, each of Colchester’s last five matches have ended with over 2.5 goals.

By the looks of things, a high-scoring affair is expected this time out.

Will Both teams score in the match?

Neither of these two teams has had a solid defensive record in recent weeks. The hosts have failed to keep clean sheets in each of their last seven matches. While the visitors have conceded nine goals in their last three matches.

Thus, the chances are quite high for goals to come from either end of the pitch.

The Verdict

The bookies have Colchester as slight favourites, and backing them at 2.55 odds is a promising bet given their solid performances in a couple of recent matches. Furthermore, Forest Green has had an abysmal league form going into the match.

Furthermore, the both teams to score odds of 1.67 look quite attractive. Given both clubs’ poor defensive performances and recent goal participation at both ends of the game.
