Match Preview

Before arriving at our Colchester United vs Aston Villa preview, the home side lost against Accrington Stanley in disappointing fashion, after playing out a preseason that had a mixed bag of results.

The hosts have lost their last five consecutive away fixtures in this competition, failing to score in four of them. Only against Wycombe in 2013 did they manage to find the back of the net in a 3-3 draw, before losing on penalties.

Last season saw Colchester defeated 4-0 by Brighton, with 2014 witnessing a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Charlton. Over the years, they’ve not travelled well against better opposition, affecting our Colchester United vs Aston Villa predictions.

The Villans, meanwhile, would have hoped to open up their own Championship season with a victory on home soil during last weekend. Leonid Slutski’s Hull City managed a 1-1 draw, however.

Last season saw Aston Villa knocked out by Luton Town in the League Cup, in a disappointing 3-1 away loss in August 2016. Steve Bruce will be keen to avoid a similar result this time around.

Colchester United vs Aston Villa Prediction and Betting Advice

The last three times that the away side have had to travel in this competition, they have suffered defeats. Bradford City, Southampton and Luton were the teams to do it, but Aston Villa should have enough quality this time around.

According to our Colchester United vs Aston Villa picks, Bet365 offers the best football picks and football betting odds for an away victory, as the Villans look to progress beyond the first round at the expense of a team two divisions below them in the English league pyramid.
