Recent respective form guides

Colchester United's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While U's have scored 5, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Colchester U. find themselves struggling down in 16th position in the league having picked up 8 points from their 7 matches. Leicester City's total of 16 points from their 7 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola League One.
