In a matchup that could see chances come at a real premium, Colchester will host Scunthorpe from behind closed doors on Friday night.

Starting with the hosts, only continuing on what has been a real sluggish run of form, Colchester have found themselves tumbling down the League Two standings. In their 24 fourth-tier matchups so far this season, they have recorded seven wins, 10 draws and seven defeats, scoring 28 and conceding 33 in return. Managing to muster themselves a points tally of 31, the Essex based outfit open Friday’s fixtures sat down in 15th and three points adrift from finding a route back into the top-half of the table. As for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 0-0 stalemate away at Stevenage, Colchester have failed to win any of their last eight straight League Two contests on the bounce. More worrying, this weekend’s hosts have managed to record just a single goal in any of their last four consecutive appearances.

As for the visitors, hoping to have turned a real corner over the past week, Scunthorpe firmly have their sights set on trying to forge a route away from the drop zone. In their 25 League Two contests so far this season, they have recorded nine wins, two draws and 14 defeats, scoring 27 and conceding 34 in return. Opening up this weekend’s fixtures with a points tally of 29 and sat 17th in the table, it should be highlighted that victory on their travels on Friday night would see them leapfrog Colchester in the standings. As for their recent run of results, landing a deserved 2-0 win against Port Vale in midweek, Scunthorpe have landed back-to-back victories for the first time since the start of December. However, with three of their last four League Two matchups seeing under 2.5 goals by the final whistle, we’re backing a similar outcome this week.
