Colchester United - Grimsby Town predictions and free betting tips [13/02/2024]

In the upcoming League 2 round, "Colchester United" and "Grimsby" will meet at "Colchester Community" stadium. 

"Colchester"

"Colchester" has been in League 2 for 8 seasons in a row now. They showed fairly good results in the first half of this period, finishing in the top ten. However, their performance has significantly weakened in recent years, now they are fighting for survival. Currently, they are 22nd in the standings.

After a draw with "Swindon Town" (2:2), they had a draw with "Bradford City" (1:1). In the next match, they managed to secure a victory over "Morecambe" by a narrow margin. Next, they drew again with "Forest Green" (3:3). In the last round, the lads suffered a defeat from "Harrogate" (0:1).

"Grimsby"

This season, the team has been rather unlucky as, after 30 rounds, "Grimsby" occupies the 21st position in the standings. In the 26th round, they dramatically lost to "Walsall" with a score (1:6). In the next match, they played a high-scoring draw with "Notts County" (5:5). Then they were defeated by "Tranmere Rovers" with a score (1:2). After that, they drew with "Accrington" (0:0). In the last round, the team lost at home to "Stockport" with a score (1:3).

Head-to-head matches

The last face-to-face match between "Colchester" and "Grimsby" was played on October 24, 2023, and ended with a score of (3:2) in favour of "Colchester".

Prediction

In this confrontation, there is no direct favourite, as both teams are performing rather weak this season. I would take a risk to bet on a draw, because "Grimsby" can fight off the field, and "Colchester" plays at home where they often equal their opponents.

Total prediction

Both teams have shown quite good results in recent rounds, so I would suggest betting on a total of 2.5 over.
