6 POINTS SHEFF UTD BT COLCHESTER (UK FOOTBALL LEAGUE 1) @2.25 BET365

Colchester take on Sheffield United this weekend and Sheffield Utd will want to maintain their grip on the play off position they are in and keep the pressure up on the top clubs. Colchester are not a bad side and at home have played 14 matches winning 5, drawing 5 and losing 4 but the 3 times they have played a team in the top 6 they have lost (0-2 to Charlton at the start of the season), (1-5 to MK Dons) and (1-6 against Stevenage) so you can see that against the top teams they have really struggled. Colchester have scored in all bar one home game this season but on 9 occasions have scored 1 goal or less and as you can see they can concede heavily against the top teams akthough they have been more stingy against the lower ranked teams.

Sheffield United are pushing for automatic promotion and will see this as a game they have to win if they want to maintain the pressure. Away from home they havent been as succesfull as they have at home but having played 13 matches they have won 6, drawn 3 and lost 4 but 3 of those losses have come against sides in the top 7 i.e.they lost 2-1 to Stevenage, 3-2 to Carlisle and 1-0 to Charlton so although not unexpected that they lost the games they only lost by a 1 goal margin in each game so were competitive for each game unlike Colchesters matches against top teams. Sheffield United arent the highest scoring team by anty stretch of the imagination having scored 19 away goals this season but they have managed to keep 5 clean sheets and have conceded just 12 away goals. If you look at the last 8 games (home and away) they have the best record in the league having won 6 and lost 2 so are playing very well at the moment.

In summary Colchester seem to get beaten by the top teams and quite heavily as well and with sheffield United's current good form I think that Sheffield Utd will win this match.
