Colchester United - Championship
Colchester v Barnsley Kick Off Saturday 18th 16:00Layer Road Effect Should See Colchester Home
Colchester United exceeded all expectations in not only staving off relegation from the Championship last season, but securing a top-half finish.
They did lose some key players over the summer though and a struggle may well be on the cards this term.
This Saturday they play host to another team seemingly destined for a battle against the drop in Barnsley.
Barnsley have made a number of new additions to their squad over the summer, but Simon Davey appears to have assembled a fairly eclectic mix of players who might not gel terribly quickly.
Add in the factor that Colchester have been very strong at their tiny Layer Road ground for a few years now and the 17-20 available on the home win with Expekt looks to have a bit of value about it.
Pick: Colchester at 17-20 with Expekt
