1st Prediction For Notts County vs Colchester United: Match Result – Draw – 12/5
Notts County are the joint-best side in League Two this season on their own patch; they are 1 of 3 teams to have taken 17 points from 8 games. But the Magpies are in the best form of any fourth-tier side, not just at home but also across all venues. Since losing their first match of the season, they have gone 7 unbeaten in the East Midlands, while winning 4 of their last 6 league encounters.
Standing in their way are one of the leading sides on the road this season, with only 4 sides bettering Colchester United’s away tally of 12 points. The U’s are unbeaten in 3 matches, winning twice, with victories over high-flyers Grimsby Town and Walsall in that time. Danny Cowley’s side also took a point at league leaders Swindon Town, while they have also won 4 of their last 6 matches.
With both sides in such terrific form, it feels difficult to select a winner; therefore, a draw feels the most likely outcome tomorrow afternoon.
2nd Prediction For Notts County vs Colchester United: Both Teams To Score – Yes – 7/10
Notts are the highest-scoring side on their own patch this season, bagging 18 times in just 8 matches. County have netted 10 times in their last 4 matches, while the Magpies’ defensive record of 7 goals against is the second-best record in League Two. Although the Nottinghamshire outfit needed a late penalty to rescue a point last Saturday, they had kept 3 clean sheets in their previous 4 games.
Meanwhile, Colchester have scored 10 goals in the fourth tier this term, one of the better figures in the division. They have netted twice in 3 of their last 4 away matches, starting an upward trend of better attacking output away from Essex. Expect goalmouth action at both ends in what should be an entertaining score draw.
3rd Prediction For Notts County vs Colchester United: Alassana Jatta To Score Anytime – 9/5
Alassana Jatta is making up for lost time after missing the first five League Two matches of the season. The Gambian is in red-hot scoring form, bagging 7 times in his last 9 appearances across all competitions. That includes 4 in as many fourth-tier games, scoring both goals to beat Cambridge United in the Magpies’ latest home victory.
But finding the net on Saturday won’t be easy for the Notts forward, given that only 2 sides in the division have conceded fewer times than the U’s 8. Along with keeping successive clean sheets on the road, shipping 4 times at Fleetwood Town represents half of their goals against. But expect Jatta to score for a fifth time in as many home encounters tomorrow afternoon.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head:
Notts County have risen to fourth in the League Two standings, level on points with Milton Keynes Dons in the automatic promotion places and only 2 points off top spot. But last weekend, they were minutes away from being the victims of a huge shock against Harrogate Town. A last-minute penalty was required to salvage a point against a side with just 3 substitutes.
While exiting the Vertu Trophy and FA Cup, wins over Cheltenham Town, Cambridge, Barnet and Oldham Athletic have seen the Magpies move up the table. Martin Paterson’s side last lost in the fourth tier at the end of September against Crewe Alexandra, drawing to leaders Swindon a month ago today. A long trip to Bristol Rovers brings November to an end, before home meetings with MK Dons and Walsall are separated by an away fixture at Grimsby.
Colchester continued their fine form away from home, navigating another tough away encounter by defeating Walsall last Saturday. It capped a fine week for the U’s, after they topped their EFL Trophy group with maximum points by beating Fulham U21’s. Unfortunately for the Cowley’s, their start to the month wasn’t quite as successful, losing to Bromley a fortnight ago, while being knocked out of the FA Cup by league rivals MK.
October was much stronger, winning 4 straight games across all competitions, before taking a point at Swindon. After putting 6 past Chesterfield, victories over Grimsby and Harrogate have helped the U’s move well clear of the relegation zone, and closer to a Play-Off place. Colchester will look to continue that fight by hosting Cheltenham next Saturday, before the final month of the year starts with consecutive early kick-offs against Gillingham and Salford City.
