FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Crystal Palace at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Eagles will at least gain a draw. No-score draw

| Crystal Palace | 9 games since last home draw. Unbeaten run of 4 matches. |
| Colchester U. | Not won in previous 8 away matches. 4 games since last defeat. |
