League Two
Our Three Predictions For Walsall vs Colchester United
- Prediction 1 – Daniel Kanu To Score – TBC
- Prediction 2 – Over 2.5 Goals Scored – 21/20
- Prediction 3 – Match To End In A Draw – 9/8
First Prediction For Walsall vs Colchester United – Daniel Kanu To Score – TBC
Leading the scoring charts for the Saddlers this season, Kanu has been a great addition since joining on loan from Charlton Athletic. Having 3 goals in his last 4 games, the 20-year-old has stepped up to be the leading light of a Walsall team looking to right the wrongs of last season’s heartbreaking collapse from a commanding position at the top of the table.
Scoring against Newport County as part of the 4-2 win last time out, Kanu has put 64% of his shots on target in League Two this season. He also leads the division in xG on target this season with 8.39, as well as taking the most shots on target of any striker in the 4th tier. He would be a very likely goalscorer in this game.
Second Prediction For Walsall vs Colchester United – Over 2.5 Goals Scored – 21/20
Both teams have participated in high scoring matches as of recently and that could happen once again when they meet. For Walsall, they managed to see off relegation-threatened Newport County in a 6-goal thriller, and before that easily dispatched Eastleigh in their FA Cup 1st round match. A loss to Barrow also exceeded the 2.5 goal threshold.
For Walsall, 2 of their last 5 games ended with over 2.5 goals scored, with one going in their favour against Harrogate Town and the other ending in a 3-2 loss against promotion challengers Milton Keynes Dons. Both sides have exceeded an average of 1 goal scored and conceded across their League Two matches this season.
Third Prediction For Walsall vs Colchester United – Walsall To Win – 9/8
There is a lack of consistency in either side’s performances as of late, which makes this a hard game to call. However, with home advantage and a return to winning ways, Walsall may be able to edge this contest. Their good performances have them in a strong position in the table heading towards the festive period, sitting in the top 5 for both home and away form.
Colchester find themselves in a slight slump with losses in back-to-back games against MK Dons and Bromley prior to their EFL Trophy fixture in midweek, but still have 3 wins in their last 5 League Two matches, including one over 3rd-placed Chesterfield. Cowley’s side may be able to win, but based on their recent performances, they could come undone.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head
Walsall remain top of League Two after 15 matches, leading Swindon Town on goal difference, and keep a 3-point buffer to 4th-placed Salford City heading into the weekend. Mat Sadler’s side are just a point worse off than they were at this stage last season as they begun to string a run together which had them as title favourites by January.
In their last 5 matches, they have picked up 7 points, with a win in their most recent game against Newport County. Their last win in the 4th tier came a month prior, when they beat Bristol Rovers at home. They have some good news on the injury front with Jake Hollman returning to training this week.
Colchester United have hit a slump which has seen them slowly slide down the League Two table, putting them in 16th ahead of the weekend’s action. They have a 5-point buffer over Shrewsbury Town in the drop zone, and any result could extend that advantage with Salop playing bottom-placed Newport.
Danny Cowley had some midweek action to contend with as they faced Fulham’s academy side in the EFL Trophy, with that rotated squad winning 2-0 and securing their 1st placed finish in the group stages. Prior to that, United lost in the league to Bromley at home as well as being sent out of the FA Cup by MK Dons.
These sides have been regular league opponents, with 23 matches between them in the past 15 years. Both have won 7 each, with 9 draws contested. Each side claimed a home win in last season’s fixtures, with the Essex side winning 2-1 in their most recent meeting.
