Colchester United
WWLLDL
Colchester United won’t want a repeat of their last result here following the 4-2 League Two defeat last time out to AFC Wimbledon.
The only scorer from Colchester United was Ben Goodliffe (1', 9'). James Ball (13'), Jake Reeves (30'), Mathew Stevens (38') and Omar Bugiel (54') scored for AFC Wimbledon.
It has been a rare occasion in recent times that Colchester United have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Colchester United have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, shipping 12 goals during that time.
Reading
DWDLWD
In their previous game, Reading drew 1-1 in the League One tie with Birmingham City.
The only player to score from Reading was Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan (42'). Alfie May (87') scored for Birmingham City.
In their last half-dozen clashes, Reading have amassed a total of 12 goals. Reading have also not failed to score on each one of those occasions. During those fixtures, they’ve had 13 goals go into their own net. However, we will just have to wait and see whether that pattern shall persist in this next game.
↔️ Head to head
If we look at their past head to head duels dating back to 11/11/2000, there is nothing to separate the two clubs with Colchester United winning 3 of those games, Reading 3 and 0 being drawn in normal time.
A combined sum of 14 goals were scored between the two sides in this period, with 6 for The U's and 8 created by The Royals. The average goals per game has been 2.33.
💡 Prediction
We’re envisaging that Colchester United will do well to breach the defence of this Reading team who will likely manage to get a goal of their own in a winning performance.
We’re therefore seeing a very even contest with a 0-1 advantage for Reading when all is said and done.
Should be a close one.
