Colchester United desperately need points on Saturday, Apr 17 at 4:00 PM in the League 2. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Cheltenham Town come into this fixture in good form (3W 2D 0L recently). Colchester United travel out of form (0W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Cheltenham Town and Colchester United have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (4W–3D–3W). Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.6 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Cheltenham Town clear favorites, but Colchester United have shown they can grind out results. Expect Cheltenham Town to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
