Sutton vs Colchester tips and predictions

Sutton still hard to beat

There are 18 points separating these two League Two sides as fifth place Sutton get set to host 22nd place Colchester.

The odds-on Sutton price is unlikely to stand out, but it is an excellent bet to consider. If they are at just 50% of their best it should still be enough.

There's a sequence developing ahead of these sides squaring off. The hosts have got 16 wins behind them from their last 20 home games. And the visitors have been out of sorts while losing their last 5 matches home or away. Another defeat beckons for them here.

Is the home side in any form in previous performances? Sutton scored two or more goals in 5 of their recent 6 matches while they've not often been caught off-guard. They've conceded only 2 goals in their last 7 games at home. They'll see this clash as an opportunity to put in another strong display in defence and they're likely to keep a clean sheet.

Colchester can be vulnerable when they lose their shape. They've conceded two or more goals in all of their last 5 matches. If this stat proves to be significant, viewers can expect to see the home team pick holes in their defensive line.

Sutton are justifiable favourites and it's possible they just don't give any morsels away to Colchester. It's not a strong view among today's fixtures but the No BTTS bet is the only option in that market that has any signs of value.
