Colchester United and Walsall meet in League Two, with the hosts sitting 21st on 12 points from 12 matches, while the visitors are 6th on 19 points from 12 matches. This is therefore a game where Walsall need points to hold their position in the table, while Colchester United need points to pull away from the lower reaches. Colchester United have not won in 5 straight matches, and lost their latest game 0-2 at home. Their attack has scored only 11 goals from 12 matches, while Walsall have lost just once this season and recently won 3-0 in the league before losing 2-4 in their latest match. Likewise, Colchester United have just lost 0-2 in their latest match, so the two teams' form is clearly different. Walsall have had more possession and more shots on target in their last 10 matches, but their defence also concedes easily, letting in as many as 30% of goals during the 61-75 minute period, which is when Colchester United must be wary of counter-attacks. If Walsall play to their usual standard, this game is likely to end with them not losing.
