English League Two

A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : England: League Two
Venue: Colchester Community Stadium
Tuesday 10th March 2026, 1945hrs (GMT)
Colchester United bounced back from two recent defeats on the trot in League Two last weekend when The U’s registered a welcome 2-1 win away from home at strugglers Newport County and no doubt Danny Cowley’s side will be looking for more of the same when the hosts take on Crawley Town at the Colchester Community Stadium on Friday night.
However, this may be easier said than done as Colchester united have managed to capture just three wins from their previous nine league matches in the domestic fourth tier which includes earlier home wins against Shrewsbury Town and Barnet but also includes being dealt five defeats as well.
An overall home record of 8-4-5 28/17 looks reasonable enough but recent results for Cowley’s side have been a real mixed bag.
Crawley Town will have been encouraged by their point shared with high-flying Swindon Town in a 2-2 draw last weekend but nevertheless, the Red Devils’ winless run in League Two extended to seven games in the process.
The Sussex visitors currently occupy 21st place in the League Two table where they hold a slender one-point cushion over second from bottom Newport County ahead of Friday night’s trip to Colchester United.
The bigger picture shows Crawley Town have registered just the single win in their previous nine games overall in the domestic fourth tier, that coming in the form of a 2-0 home win against fellow strugglers, Harrogate Town, but an away record of 2-4-12 12/33 is the worst away record in the division.
The Betting Verdict
Crawley Town have lost just once in their previous 10 meetings against Colchester United though.
The Pick :
Colchester Utd 1-1 Crawley Town
