Colchester United welcome Exeter City to the Weston Homes Community Stadium at 3pm on Saturday, with goals likely to be at a premium between two sides who have found them hard to come by.
Our Colchester United vs Exeter City predictions and betting tips weigh up a League Two contest likely to be settled by fine margins, with the Grecians in particular struggling badly for goals on their travels. The sides have not met since 2022, but current form suggests a cagey, low-scoring afternoon.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson has landed on the low-scoring markets for a meeting of two sides who find goals hard to come by.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Under 0.5 first-half goals | 2/1 (bet365) | Exeter have gone in at 0-0 at half-time in seven of their ten League Two games this season, and Colchester have done so in three of nine. That means ten of their 19 combined matches have been goalless at the break. Colchester are without a win in five, and they are unlikely to take too many risks early on against a side that defends well. bet365 offer 2/1 on no goals in the first half. |
| Exeter City to win to nil | 5/1 (Sky Bet) | Exeter have won two of their last three, and they have kept clean sheets in five of their ten League Two games this season. Colchester are 19th and without a win in five, and they have failed to score in two of their nine games. Exeter have won to nil three times already, and a narrow away win looks well within their reach. Sky Bet offer 5/1 on Exeter winning to nil. |

How Colchester United go into the game
Colchester sit 19th on 10 points, a return dragged down by a run of draws, but they remain unbeaten at home with two wins and two draws from four at the Community Stadium. Their last outing was a 1-0 defeat at Newport.
The U’s have conceded just three times on home soil, so while goals have been scarce at their end too, they have the platform to make this another tight watch in front of their own fans.
How Exeter City go into the game
Exeter go into the weekend 14th on 12 points, with their season defined by a lack of goals; they have scored just six times in ten games and failed to find the net in five of them. Their last outing was a 1-0 defeat at Port Vale.
The Grecians have been dreadful away from home, losing four of five on the road and scoring only twice, which makes a trip to a solid Colchester home side a stiff test.

| 22/06/20 | Exeter City | 2-1 | Colchester United |
These two have not crossed paths since 2022, so recent meetings offer little guide, though the fixture produced plenty of goals back then in contrast to the sides’ current struggles.
