Match description
I predict a Colchester United win: the hosts average 1.57 goals per home match, while Accrington score only 0.85 on the road. Colchester have a higher home xG (1.64 vs 1.24 away xG for the visitors), attempt more shots (14.29 vs 10.9) and more shots on target (4.95 vs 3.55), indicating superiority in creating quality chances. Defensively Colchester concede 1.00 goal at home on average, whereas Accrington concede 1.20 away and allow as much as 1.51 xG on the road, so the visitors’ defence looks more vulnerable. In the last 5 matches the hosts average 1.4 points per game (2 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses), while Accrington have just 0.6 points (1 win and 4 losses), and the visitors fail to score in 50% of away fixtures versus 29% of Colchester matches without a goal; therefore I back the home win (approx. 65%), draw 20% and away win 15%.
