Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Saturday’s football game at the Broadfield Stadium pits together Crawley Town and Colchester United, the two teams with entirely different ambitions for the season finale. The Red Devils are eager to book their spot in the playoffs and you should know that they are eyeing their eleventh home win of the process. Defender Harry Forster is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The U’s, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing to both Wrexham and Stockport County, with the team remaining in the relegation zone. As the visitors have been struggling at the back in recent weeks, anything but a routine home win should be considered. To make things even worse for the away team, midfielder Harry Anderson limped off with injury in the midweek defeat.

Crawley Town are an English football club that compete in the League 2. The club was founded back in 1896 and in the 2011/2012 season they secured promotion to the English fourth tier for the first time.
