Colchester U21 vs Sheffield Utd U21 tips and predictions

Interesting price for Colchester U21

The total expected goals with the sportsbooks is decent so this could be entertaining.

This might end up being a brave statement but Sheffield Utd U21 just look a little too short against Colchester U21.

The hosts are going into the match having impressed in their recent assignments - they've won their last 3 on the spin.

While not necessarily enough to change the destiny of the match, Colchester U21 have some reasons for hope. The hosts have had some excellent spells. They have scored two or more goals in 11 of their recent 17 matches and their defensive line also deserves some props. They have only conceded an average of 1.0 goals across their last 3 games.

Sheffield Utd U21 have actually conceded three or more goals in 3 of their last 10 matches. With this match-up they won't be expecting to add to those stats though. After all, they are the favourites for a reason.

In their last apperance Colchester U21 had a 2-1 win against Watford U21.

Pulling off the win might be a stretch but they can pinch something here. The betting markets imply that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match despite the favouritism for Sheffield Utd U21. But with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that makes more sense this time around.
