Colchester United, Recent FormWith Barrow sitting a clear 17 places above them in the table, Colchester United won't feel totally dejected with their 2-0 away defeat by them last time out.
It's fair to say that manager Danny Cowley will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 6 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 9 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they've conceded a goal in each of their the last 13 games at JobServe Community Stadium.
There will be mixed feelings from The U's, although undefeated in their last 3 league games at home, 3 of these games ended in a draw.
Walsall, Recent FormWalsall will have been quite satisfied taking a point from their last match against Barrow, which ran out a 1-1 draw.
Manager Mat Sadler will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but playing away from home, they have conceded a goal in 17 of their 18 games this season.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Isaac Hutchinson is the man of the moment at Walsall right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 4 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
There was no upset on the cards last time these two sides met; on that occasion, Walsall produced a comfortable 1-0 victory.
On each of the last 2 outings between Colchester and The Saddlers in the league, Colchester have not performed well in front of goal and have come up empty-handed in terms of goals. Playing at home, Colchester have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Walsall.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met at JobServe Community Stadium in the league, but Colchester will take some small comfort in being unbeaten in their last 5 meetings there.
With no real injury worries, Colchester manager Danny Cowley will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Walsall manager Mat Sadler has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
