Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

Our calculations suggest that it's fairly unlikely that this fixture will have more than 3 goals at most, and the odds and statistics point in the same direction as KickOff's predictive algorithm on this one. Colchester and Crewe have rarely served up thrillers of late, whether that be in League Two individually or when going head-to-head. So, in the absence of a convincing favourite draw or double chance market, we're suggesting under 3.5 goals. The UK's top bookies have that available at a best price of 1.33.

An away win looks like the most likely outcome in the win/draw/win market, with our predictive algorithm suggesting there’s a 40% chance of Crewe coming away with a win.
