Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Under 2.5 goals as a betting market simply means there will only be a maximum of 2 goals scored in total by Colchester and Crewe during the regulation 90 minutes. It's a bet the stats below and the odds both favour on this occasion, and an outcome that we've seen these sides produce before. Without a strong favourite to win the game, our best bet prediction for this one is under 2.5.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Colchester are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 46% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 2.20.
