Colchester U. prepare to entertain Bournemouth at Layer Road Ground on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The U's are clearly on top, having won 16 and lost only 7 of the 29 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Layer Road Ground was just last season, in September 2003, the U's carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a League Division Two match.

Recent respective form guides
Colchester United's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. The goals for column just outweighs the goals against over this period, 6 to 5.
The away form of Bournemouth is pretty dire, managing a paltry 2 draws from the last six matches. While the Cherries have hit 6 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Colchester U. find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 36 points from their 30 matches. Bournemouth's 47 points from 30 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 9th position.
