Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The statistics suggest there isn't an obvious winner in this fixture, but there's plenty of reasons to believe that Colchester and Doncaster will score 2 or more goals between them. We've seen goals when they've gone head-to-head in years gone by, and neither Danny Cowley or Grant McCann has suffered the frustration of many 0-0s recently either. The bookmakers predict over 1.5 goals too, with best odds of 1.25 equating to about a 79% probability.
