Colchester vs OldhamPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Colchester shared the points on the opening day with a 2-2 draw away from home, worth their first point of the season and eleventh place. Oldham took the lot instead, a 2-0 win at their own ground with two goals scored and none conceded, which puts them fourth. Those two matches produced six goals between them, above the 2.42 goals per game League Two is averaging at this early stage. Colchester now play at home for the first time this season and Oldham travel for the first time, so both records remain blank. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
