REF’s picks

Back the Over 2.25 goals market – the two sides have been scoring and conceding fairly often and a 2‑goal barrier looks thin.

1. 1Both teams have combined 9 goals in their last five games and have leaked at least one goal in each match
2. 2Northampton have struggled to keep clean sheets while Colchester have drawn four of their last five, often with goals on both ends

REF's own opinion, not a guarantee — nothing here is financial or betting advice, and the call is always yours.
