Colchester United are in decent form: 2 won, 1 drawn and 2 lost from their last 5, 7 points from a possible 15. They have scored 7 and conceded 4 in that run. Their last game was a 4–1 win at home to Barnet.

Salford City are short of results: 1 won, 0 drawn and 4 lost from their last 5, 3 points from a possible 15. They have scored 6 and conceded 9 in that run. Their last game was a 1–2 defeat at home to Shrewsbury Town.

The best prices across 3 UK bookmakers are 2.38 for Colchester, 3.50 for the draw and 3.50 for Salford. The bookmakers make Colchester United favourites, at about 42% once the margin is taken out.

Our prediction: Colchester United to win, with a 45% chance. The market puts it at 42% and our match model at 50%, and blending those with recent form gives 45%. The best price, 2.38 at Betfair, is longer than our fair price of 2.22, so there is value in it. The pick lost.
