Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Fans may not be thrilled to read this, but it's all-but impossible to predict a thriller here. The stats suggest Notts C and Colchester both are capable of keeping it tight at the back, and the odds point towards a tie with fewer than 2 goals in total as they go head-to-head. We think they're probably right and, in the absence of obvious outright winners to back, under 2.5 goals feels like the right bet on this match.
