Betting Tip: Colchester v Wycombe

Consistency is still avoiding Colchester like the plague at the moment with them yet to have put together back to back same results this season. They are a bit all over the place and suffered a heavy loss at the struggling Cheltenham on the weekend. As for Wycombe, they have just gone off the boil a little bit with them being on a three-match winless streak in the division but they remain unbeaten out on the road for the term. Wycombe are a decent prospect at 8/5 to win this with William Hill and that leaves Colchester at 8/5.

Colchester Form

Colchester are W2 D2 L4 for the season and breaking that into home form only, the reading gets much better. They have remained unbeaten at home with a W2 D2 record, a stark contrast to their four straight losses on the road, that’s for sure. The U’s two home wins so far this season came against Forest Green and Crawley who are far worse off than Wycombe are. But the U’s held out for a good draw against Stevenage in their first home fixture of the season. Both teams have scored in all but two of Colchester’s matches this season and in all four of their home games.

Things are even in the last four between these two at the Weston Homes Community Stadium with one win each and two draws. Both draws were by a 1-1 scoreline.

Colchester are unbeaten in their last five games home and away against Wycombe.

Top Betting Tips

A draw playing itself out in this one wouldn’t be a huge surprise really. Wycombe have just lost their way a little bit in front of goal and Colchester have the head to head form over them and they can pick up a good home point which will see both maintain their respective home and away unbeaten records for the season. The 1-1 draw has big correct score appeal at 5/4.
