This is an evenly matched fixture. Both sides have shown similar consistency in recent games (Colchester: 1W-3D-2L; Port Vale: 1W-1D-4L). Home advantage could prove the marginal difference in what should be a tight contest.
Colchester welcome Port Vale in a clash of out-of-form sides, though the hosts look far steadier on their own patch, winning two and drawing two of their last four at home. Iandolo, Hunt and Anderson have chipped in with the goals for Colchester, while Port Vale arrive with just one win in six and a dismal away record of four straight defeats, scoring only once on the road. Byers and Lynch remain their main outlets. Expect a tight, low-scoring affair. Predicted score: Colchester 1-0 Port Vale.
