Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

Our calculations suggest that it's fairly unlikely that this game will serve up 4+ goals, and the odds and statistics point in the same direction as KO's predictive algorithm on this one. Colchester and Barnet haven't typically treated their fans to thrillers of late, whether that be in League Two individually or when going head-to-head. So, in the absence of a strong favourite win or double chance market, we're recommending under 3.5 goals. That's available at a best price of 1.22.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Colchester are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 43% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 2.75.
