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 7, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Wolves's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The Wolves's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 8 goals for and 6 against.

Colchester U. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola Championship with a return of just 32 points from their 33 games thus far. Wolves's 47 points from 33 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.
