Competition: EFL Trophy

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 4/5 @ 888sport

Two sides who will be turning their attention back to EFL Trophy duties in midweek, Gillingham will host Colchester on Tuesday night.

Starting with the hosts, while Gillingham might have had to settle for a single point over the weekend, they are enjoying a largely impressive run of form. In their opening 12 League Two matchups so far this season, they have recorded just two wins, five draws and five defeats, scoring four and conceding 12 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 11, they currently find themselves sat 19th in England’s fourth-tier and holding a three-point buffer over slipping into the relegation zone. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 1-1 draw away at Crewe, Gillingham have lost just one of their previous seven matchups across all formats. Likewise, it should also be highlighted, Tuesday’s hosts have seen their back-to-back appearances finish with both teams finding the net.

As for the visitors, putting in another eye-catching display over the weekend, Colchester have managed to find a much-welcomed boost over the past week. In their opening 12 League Two matchups so far this season, they have recorded just two wins, three draws and seven defeats, scoring 10 and conceding 17 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of nine, they currently find themselves sitting 20th in the standings and just a single spot below their midweek opponents. However, as for their recent run of results, Colchester have now picked up back-to-back 2-1 victories against Harrogate and Charlton on home soil. Likewise, it should also be highlighted, with Tuesday’s guests seeing each of their last three fixtures finish with both teams finding the net, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
