Colchester United host Exeter City in League One this Saturday, with the home side having just ended their latest league match in a 0-1 defeat, while the visitors just won 1-0. The two teams therefore come into this one in clearly different moods. Colchester United still cannot find a win in the league and have gone many matches without one. Their attack is blunt and their defence concedes regularly, scoring 10 and conceding 13 from 9 matches. Exeter City, meanwhile, have taken wins in two of their last three league games. Although they have scored only 6 goals from 10 matches, they have also conceded just 6, so their defence is the reason they remain in a more stable position. Colchester United's home games often end the first half level, with 4 of 6 home matches seeing them lead at the break, but after half-time the home side tends to push forward harder and create more chances than early in the game. Exeter City away from home tend to concede in the first half more often than they score, so the game is likely to open up more after the break than before it, and the home side should get chances to keep pressing for a winning goal.
