Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Sutton

Prediction: 1-0
Colchester
Sutton and Colchester take on each other at Gander Green Lane on day 24 of the new League Two campaign. Sutton did well to beat Harrogate in their last league fixture, with the team keeping their automatic promotion hopes alive. Donovan Wilson, who scored the winner against Harrogate, will be one of the men to keep an eye on in the home team.
The U’s, on the other hand, failed to win the previous three league fixtures. Hayden Mullins’ troops are eager to escape the danger zone, but given Sutton’s fine form, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing something from the midweek clash. When the two teams met at Colchester Community Stadium Sutton defeated Colchester 3-1, and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself this weekend.
Highlighted Player (Frank Nouble):
Born in Lewisham, London on September 24, 1991, Frank Nouble is a product of the Chelsea football academy. Despite spending his youth career at the capital club, he did not see any game action with the Blues at senior level. Frank Nouble started his senior career at West Ham United, but he made no more than 13 league appearances for the Hammers.
Nowadays, he plays for Colchester United in the League Two. Frank Nouble, who has eight caps with the England U19 team, made his debut with the U’s on August 4, 2018, in a goalless draw with Notts County. He scored his first goal with Colchester United on September 15, 2018, in a 3-0 victory over Cambridge United.
Nouble’s primary position is centre-forward, but he is used as both left and right winger as well. The 190-cm-tall footballer wears the number 45 jersey at Colchester United, and his preferred foot is right.
Highlighted Team (Colchester):
Founded in 1937, Colchester United are a professional football club that compete in the League Two, the English fourth tier. The U’s welcome their rivals at Colchester Community Stadium, the venue which has the capacity of 10,105 people.
Colchester United are well known for their blue kit, but white is the dominant colour of their away kit. The U’s have an official fans association known as the CUSA. Colchester supporters consider Wycombe Wanderers the club’s fiercest rivals, but the rivalries with Southend United and Ipswich Town are big as well. Colchester United did well to win the FA Trophy in the 1991/92 season, with the team clinching the Essex Senior Cup trophy in the 2009/10 season.
In December 1961 the U’s recorded their biggest win, with the team rolling over Bradford City 9-1 in the Fourth Division. Colchester United repeated the success 44 years later as they hammered Leamington 9-1 in the FA Cup round 1.
