Wycombe returns to League Two action this weekend as they look for more points in their promotion push. They have alternated between a win and a loss in their last five league games and this will be something of a testing game against Colchester. The U’s have produced some good form to get themselves within touching distance of the play off spots, but they need a boost of a win after a surprisingly heavily defeat at Cheltenham on the weekend.

ColchesterWycombe Form
Wycombe have been a strong force at Adams Park all season to contend with, having posted a W7 D3 L3 record there this term in League Two. They have won four of their last five home games as well and three of those were with a clean sheet. They were actually stymied though in their last home games as Mansfield took a 2-1 win there on December 30th. They have plenty of goals in them though and that could be written off as a blip. Wycombe have averaged 2.08 goals per home game so far this season and while their defence hasn’t been exactly watertight, far from it, in fact, it hasn’t needed to be for the most part. It’s always worth looking over 2.5 goals where the Chairboys are involved. 54% of their games at Adams Park this season have seen at least four goals. They have opened the scoring in 9 of their 13 home games which is a great record.
Colchester Form
The U’s, after having put together some great form, surprisingly tanked at home against Cheltenham last weekend, going down 4-1. They were unbeaten in their six previous games with three straight clean sheets so that loss was a shock. Colchester have been pretty solid since the end of September last year and they have won two of their last three on the road. They have been level at the break in eight of their away games this season so the half time draw is a decent proposition. They haven’t been prolific on the road, averaging around a goal per game, but 31% of their away games have gone over 3.5 goals and add that to Wycombe’s record at home, this could be a firecracker of a game. Colchester have scored 64% of their away goals in the second half of matches this season.
Head to Head News
