Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson expects little between the sides and leans towards a share of the spoils.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Both teams to score | 4/5 (William Hill) | Colchester’s games have been open, with both teams scoring in five of their seven League Two matches, and they have kept just one clean sheet. Shrewsbury have scored in all three home games, and Colchester have scored in two of their three away trips, drawing 2-2 at Accrington and losing 3-1 at Swindon. William Hill’s 4/5 is a fair price, and Colchester’s trend makes goals at both ends the angle. |
| The draw | 9/4 (bet365) | The bookmakers can barely separate these sides, with Shrewsbury no bigger than 8/5 and Colchester no bigger than 13/8 in the match odds. Colchester have drawn their last two, 1-1 with Crewe and 1-1 with Cheltenham, and three of their seven games overall. Shrewsbury drew 1-1 at Crewe last weekend. With two points between them in the table, the draw at 9/4 is well worth backing. |

How Shrewsbury Town go into the game
Shrewsbury have struggled for goals, scoring just five in seven League Two games, and sit 18th on seven points.
Home form offers hope. They beat Salford 1-0 and Northampton 2-0 at the Croud Meadow, with only Barnet winning there, 3-1 in August.
Away from home they have taken one point from four games, losing at Tranmere, Rochdale and Fleetwood before last weekend’s 1-1 draw at Crewe. They knocked Salford out of the League Cup on penalties before a 4-0 defeat at Fleetwood in round two.
How Colchester United go into the game
Colchester sit 15th on nine points and have drawn their last two, 1-1 at home to Crewe and 1-1 at home to Cheltenham last weekend.
They are unbeaten at home, beating Oldham 2-1 and Rochdale 1-0, but have lost two of three on the road, 2-0 at Bristol Rovers and 3-1 at Swindon.
Colchester also went out of the League Cup at the first hurdle, beaten 2-0 at home by Southampton.
