WBA host Colchester. The odds on the hosts are strangely low and certainly they have no value. But looking at the style of both teams, the over 2.5 looks quite tempting to take.

WBA are 5th in the standings, following their bad period, but still, there are chances of getting the direct promotion, as they are 4 points behind the line with 2 games in hand. Their home record is 11-6-3 with a 45-22 GD. They perform excellently in the FA Cup, but in the Championship, they've only got 1 win in their last 5 games. Still, they seem to be getting back on track, and with a nice push in the end of the season, they could get that 2nd place for a direct promotion.

Colchester are on the bottom of the standings, with 33 points, 11 less than Leicester who stand above the line. Their away record is 3-7-10 with a 24-27 GD. Colchester have only grabbed 1 points in their last 5 games, and all were open matches, with a GD of 5-13. Colchester managed to score in their last 8 games overall, but their last 3 away from home were bad defeats.

The first game in Colchester ended 3-2, while last season WBA won both games 2-1.

Midfielders Chris Brunt and James Morrison are set to return to West Brom's squad following respective hamstring and ankle injuries. Ishmael Miller could also be involved despite withdrawing from the England Under-21 squad with a groin problem.

In-form Colchester striker Kevin Lisbie faces a late fitness test on a calf injury ahead of the match. Skipper Karl Duguid has also resumed training following a knee-ligament injury and faces a late fitness check.

WBA badly need the points, but their defense has been sloppy of late, while the visitors have scored in 8 of their last matches, having also a very bad defense. All in all, i believe the hosts will win 2-1 or 3-1 and taking the over 2.5 rather than the AH -1 is more relaxing in my opinion. Good luck.
