Chesterfield and Colchester United meet in the league today in clearly contrasting form. The hosts have just ended a game with a 0-1 defeat at home, while the visitors went away and held out for a 0-0 draw, even though they still have not won in several matches. Chesterfield have clearly created more chances than their opponents over the last ten matches, dominating possession and hitting the target roughly twice as often as the visitors, but their defence has not been especially tight either, particularly before half-time when they concede often and end up behind more often than ahead. Colchester United, for their part, choose not to open up and trade blows, with less possession and fewer shots on target, but they have also conceded few goals in many recent matches. This game will likely see the hosts holding the ball and pushing forward, while the visitors sit back and wait for counter-attacking moments or play long balls forward. If Chesterfield still cannot break through as in their last match, the game could drag on and end in a tight contest more easily than many people think.
