Colchester United travel to Harrogate this weekend, where they will look to pick up three important points. However, the Sulphurites picked up a 3-1 victory in the latest meeting.
Harrogate Town
Harrogate Town are one of the most in-form teams in League Two at the moment, and they’re unbeaten in their last five matches. Their most recent game highlighted their improvement, as they held Stockport County to a 1-1 draw on the road.
That point put the side in eighth, only behind Notts County in seventh on goal difference. Their defence is extremely solid, conceding just 1.28 goals per game, but they also only score 1.28, which is a downside to their game.
Colchester United
The U’s have struggled this season, but their form recently has been much better, as they are now unbeaten in their last four. Their most recent game was a six-pointer against Forest Green, which ended in an entertaining 3-3 draw.
Colchester score 1.40 goals per game this season, which isn’t the worst record, but their issue lies at the back, where they have the second worst defence, conceding 1.93 times per game. This is what has kept them in 21st place with just 29 points from 30 games.
Verdict?
Harrogate Town should fancy their chances this weekend, despite the visitors upturn in form. Colchester will also believe that they can frustrate the hosts.
The final prediction is Harrogate Town 2-1 Colchester United.
