Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

We make over 1.5 goals our best tip on this match, meaning that the teams will score 2 goals or more between them during 90 minutes. Both Port Vale and Colchester's recent form stats suggest things will go that way, while their head-to-head (H2H) record also supports the bet. The bookies make it their favoured prediction in this market too, available at 1.35.
