U's Can Give Albion the Blues at 6/4
Colchester United have had a fabulous season in the Championship and it can get even better on Tuesday night when they entertain West Brom. The Essex side have won 12 out of their 16 home matches this season, yet bookies such as bet365, Ladbrokes and Stan James quote both teams as 6/4 chances. This is even more mystifying when you consider that the Baggies have only won four out of their 16 away matches this campaign. Backing the U's to win each match this season would have landed you a substantial profit, with bookies (as is often the case) underrating the chances of a so-called lesser team. However, with Geraint Williams' men just two points off the play-off positions, their quality is undeniable, especially at Layer Road where they have won as many league games as any other team. If you feel that West Brom will match their Midland rivals Birmingham and take a draw from the match, you can back this outcome at 17/10 with Totesport. However, I think the home win screams value at 6/4, especially when you consider they've already taken the scalps of Derby and Preston this season. A correct score bet on 2-0 also offers decent value with Paddy Power at 11/1.
