Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

Our statistical analysis draws the same conclusion. Chesterfield and Colchester have taken part in plenty of under 3.5 goal games recently, and key performance statistics point towards more of the same. We're confidently predicting under 3.5 goals on Tuesday evening, and the bookmakers have it priced at 1.30.
