Colchester vs Worcester prediction
Colchester United currently sit second-bottom in the EFL and in the League Two relegation places. Having started brightly with expectations of challenging for promotion, is it quite surprising that Danny Cowley remains in post down in Essex after their 3-1 defeat at home to high-flying Walsall last week.
Worcester City managed to overcome Lancastrian outfit Chorley in a fourth qualifying round replay a few weeks ago. An upset as a Southern Premier League Premier Division Central outfit in the seventh-tier of English football, The Blues are struggling down at the bottom end of their league table.
Worcester City will be plucky here and there is an opportunity against a woeful Colchester side and so a low-scoring contest may well be worth backing.
Colchester vs Worcester tip: Under 2.5 goals
