Brentford to Win at Half Time and Full Time
Many doubted that Brentford can survive last season in Premier League, but they did and now they started the new season with four points from three games. Meanwhile, Colchester started the season in League Two with four points from five games.

So, the two teams are not miles away just in terms of quality, but Brentford is actually in better form as well. With that in mind, we expect a commanding performance and a win for the guests after they take the lead in first half.

Over 2.5 Total Goals
With an average of 4.33 goals per game after the first three rounds in Premier League, Brentford has the highest average of all teams in the league right now.

Meanwhile, Colchester averaged 2.60 goals per game in League Two so far and that only makes us more confident in our next prediction, which is over 2.5 total goals.

Colchester
After the first five rounds at the start of the new League Two season, Colchester is sitting in the eighteenth place with just four points. Clearly, that's far from a great start for which their fans were hoping for, but it's not that far from the actual expectations from this team. On the bright side, Colchester reached this stage in EFL Cup by eliminating the favoured Ipswich in the last round.

When it comes to team news, Colchester's captain Tommy Smith remains out with a foot injury. The team will also be without Emyr Huws.

Colchester predicted lineup:

Hornby -Tchamedeu, Chambers, Eastman, Kazeem – Marshall-Miranda, Skuse – Hannant, Chilvers, Nouble – Sears

Brentford
Minutes separated Brentford from getting a point over the weekend against Fulham, but Mitrovic scored a late goal to deny them. Still, Brentford started the new season in Premier League with one win, one draw, and one loss, which is currently enough to put them in the eighth place in the standings.

Meanwhile, the team is without injured Ethan Pinnock, Sergi Canos, and Kristoffer Ajer.

Brentford predicted lineup:

Strakosha – Roerslev, Jansson, Sorensen

布伦特福德赢得半场和半场比赛
很多人怀疑布伦特福德能否在上赛季的英超联赛中幸存下来，但他们做到了，现在他们在新赛季开始的时候拿到了3场4分。与此同时，科尔切斯特本赛季以5场4分的成绩进入英乙。

所以，这两支球队不仅在质量上有差距，而且布伦特福德的状态也更好。考虑到这一点，我们希望在上半场取得领先后，客人们能有一场制胜的表现。

超过2.5个总目标
英超前三轮结束后，布伦特福德场均进球4.33个，是目前英超所有球队中场均进球最多的球队。

与此同时，科尔切斯特到目前为止在英乙场均打进2.60球，这让我们对下一个预测更有信心，我们的预测是总进球数超过2.5个。

科尔切斯特
在新赛季英乙开始的前5轮比赛后，科尔切斯特目前只拿到4分，排在第18位。显然，这离他们的球迷所希望的一个良好的开端还很远，但这离这支球队的实际期望也没有那么远。好的一面是，科尔切斯特在上一轮淘汰了最受欢迎的伊普斯维奇。

球队方面的消息，科尔切斯特的队长汤米·史密斯因脚伤缺席。这支球队也将没有埃米尔·胡斯。

科尔切斯特预测阵容:

Hornby - tchamedeu, Chambers, Eastman, Kazeem - Marshall-Miranda, Skuse - Hannant, Chilvers, Nouble - Sears

布伦特福德
在周末对阵富勒姆的比赛中，几分钟的时间里布伦特福德本可以拿到一分，但米特罗维奇在最后时刻的进球阻止了他们。尽管如此，布伦特福德在新赛季的英超开局取得了1胜1平1负的成绩，这一成绩足以让他们排在积分榜第8位。

与此同时，球队没有受伤的伊桑Pinnock, Sergi Canos，和Kristoffer Ajer。

布伦特福德预测阵容:

Strakosha - Roerslev, Jansson, Sorensen
