Accrington are a low-scoring team, netting just 47 times in 46 League Two games last season, and their matches averaged under two and a half goals. This fixture reinforces that. The last 11 meetings have produced barely two goals per game, with under 2.5 landing in seven of them. The Accrington win leans on home advantage, where they edged this exact fixture 1-0 last season. A tight, low-scoring home win fits both the history of this fixture and Accrington&#8217;s low-scoring profile.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><strong>Cole Stockton to score anytime and Jack Payne over 1.5 shots on target<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">20\/1<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Jack Payne is the engine of this bet. He was Colchester&#8217;s standout attacker last season, scoring 13 goals with six assists as a near ever-present. He shoots often, around two attempts a game, takes their corners, free kicks and penalties, and creates constantly. That volume gives him regular routes to test the goalkeeper. Cole Stockton adds the goal threat up top, an experienced striker now leading Accrington&#8217;s line at home. On paper the pieces fit: Colchester&#8217;s chief creator firing in shots, and a penalty-box striker on home soil. Both props ask a lot, so treat this as an ambitious pick.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button sq-ptips2-cta\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/en\/go\/spreadex?q=gb-all-tmp-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener noreferrer noopener\">Back these tips with Spreadex \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sq-ptips2__foot wp-block-paragraph\">18+ only.

The Wham Stadium remains a ground where they can raise their game, particularly against opponents they have enjoyed facing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cole Stockton offers a focal point up front, and Stanley&#8217;s recent home record against Colchester, including 1-0 and 2-0 wins, will give them confidence heading into the opener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-how-colchester-united-go-into-the-game\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Colchester United go into the game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Colchester were the more consistent side last season, finishing 12th on 66 points with a solid defensive record of 49 goals conceded. They will feel they have the tools to be competitive at this level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turning that into results at Accrington has been the issue, however, with recent trips to the Wham Stadium proving fruitless. Breaking that pattern is the challenge on opening day.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"581\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12161739\/lt12_card.jpg\" alt=\"Accrington Stanley vs Colchester United: 2025-26 by the numbers\" class=\"wp-image-1479236\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12161739\/lt12_card.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12161739\/lt12_card-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12161739\/lt12_card-1024x551.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12161739\/lt12_card-768x413.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12161739\/lt12_card-400x215.jpg 400w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12161739\/lt12_card-372x200.jpg 372w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12161739\/lt12_card-112x60.jpg 112w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12161739\/lt12_card-150x81.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12161739\/lt12_card-138x74.jpg 138w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-accrington-stanley-vs-colchester-united-head-to-head\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Accrington Stanley vs Colchester United head-to-head<\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Date<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Home<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Score<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Away<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">14\/04\/26<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Colchester United<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">2-1<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Accrington Stanley<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">13\/09\/25<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Accrington Stanley<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">1-0<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Colchester United<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">04\/01\/25<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Colchester United<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">0-2<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Accrington Stanley<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">31\/08\/24<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Accrington Stanley<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">1-1<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Colchester United<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">17\/02\/24<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Colchester United<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">1-1<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Accrington Stanley<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accrington have the better of the overall record and are especially strong in this fixture at home, winning 1-0 and 2-0 in recent meetings at the Wham Stadium.
