REF’s picks

Back Exeter City +0.25 here as they arrive in far better momentum than a struggling Colchester outfit. The visitors have picked up wins recently on the road, whereas Colchester are winless in their last five and struggling to find defensive consistency.

1. 1Exeter bring solid recent form with victories over Shrewsbury and Rotherham.
2. 2Colchester's winless run includes dropped points from winning positions.
3. 3The historical head-to-head heavily favors Exeter, though past fixtures carry limited weight for current squads.
