Recent respective form guides

Colchester United's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While U's have scored 6, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

The away form of Sheff. Wed. is pretty dire, managing a paltry 2 draws from the last six matches. While the The Owls have hit 4 goals, 8 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Colchester U. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 36 games have yielded only 32 points. Sheff. Wed. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola Championship with a return of just 39 points from their 35 games thus far.
