Prediction: 1-2
Southend
There will be fireworks when Colchester United and Southend United square off against each other in the relegation six-pointer. The U’s picked up vital three points from the Walsall clash, with the team moving one step closer to securing the League Two survival. Colchester are on the right track to avoid relegation to the National League, and we are positive that they will fight tooth and nail against Southend United.
The Seasiders, on the other hand, are six points behind the safe zone, meaning that this has to go down as a must-win game for the relegation strugglers. Since the visitors are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Tuesday’s clash, we predict that the hosts will have a number of opportunities to seal the victory on the break. In the first half of the season Southend United defeated Colchester 2-0, meaning that the U’s are hungry for revenge.
