Match description

Colchester hold the edge in home metrics: they average 1.59 goals at home with an xG of 1.65, 5.05 shots on target and 58% possession, while Notts County away average 1.27 goals and xG 1.22 with 3.5 shots on target and 54% possession. Defensively the hosts also look stronger — Colchester concede 1.00 goal at home on average and have conceded 5 goals in their last 5 matches, whereas Notts concede 1.23 goals away and have shipped 9 goals in their last five. Form over the last 5: the hosts are 3 wins and 2 losses (7 goals scored and 1.8 points per game), the visitors 2 wins and 3 losses (7 goals, 1.2 points per game). Notts County do, however, possess a superior overall season goal tally — 72 goals vs Colchester’s 58 — and a slightly higher shot conversion rate (12% vs 11%), so they remain a threat offensively. Considering Colchester’s advantage in xG (1.65 vs 1.22), higher home goals average (1.59 vs 1.27) and better defensive form in the last 5 matches (5 conceded vs 9), I favor the home side (58%), draw 20% and Notts win 22%.
