Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest there's no obvious winner for this clash, but the evidence does point towards the conclusion that Colchester and Rochdale will score at least a couple of goals between them. Goals have flowed freely when they've gone head-to-head historically, and neither Danny Cowley or Jim McNulty has subjected their supporters to too many 0-0s lately either. The bookmakers are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with odds of 1.30 equating to roughly a 74% probability.
