Bromley (home)
- Bromley currently sit top of League Two with 73 points from 37 games and their home record is a big reason why The Ravens have been so dominant this season (W11, D8, L0).
- Woodman’s pragmatic system, usually featuring a back three and two wing-backs, is flexible and adaptable, giving Bromley great versatility to win on transitions and from set pieces.
Colchester United (away)
- Colchester United have a different style of playing altogether, preferring to be patient in possession, overload the centre of the field and press in waves when out of possession.
- Danny Cowley has instilled this possession-based, patient game at Colchester United and their recent results have begun to reflect that.
- Colchester currently sit 11th in League Two with 53 points from 36 games, which keeps them in the frame for a late-season push into the playoffs.
- However, Colchester have been unspectacular away, recording 6 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses in 18 League Two road games.
Head-to-Head
- Bromley are unbeaten in their last five League Two games (W2, D3).
- Colchester United have split the last two away (W1, L1).
Key Players
-
Michael Cheek is the talisman for Bromley, leading the scoring charts with 16 goals in 35 League Two appearances.
- 16 goals in 35 appearances
-
Colchester will look to contain Cheek, but Jack Payne is their best attacking outlet, netting 11 times in 29 League Two outings.
- 11 goals in 29 appearances
Betting Insights
Both teams to score is at a short price ( 1.77 ) but there will likely be a healthy amount of action at both ends as the teams look to exploit each other’s weaknesses.
Prediction
- Bromley have scored 35 goals at Hayes Lane in League Two this campaign and they can get the better of Colchester in this encounter.
- Bromley have been in excellent form in their last five League Two matches and Cowley’s tweaks to Colchester’s system have shown promise, but the hosts have the momentum and they will extend their undefeated streak in front of their own fans with another crucial three points.
