Prediction: 2-1
Grimsby
Colchester and Grimsby square off against each other at Colchester Community Stadium in what is expected to be a close League Two encounter. The U’s aim to build on a 3-2 win over Crawley Town and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach against the Mariners as their survival is at stake. Samson Tovide is banned for the match, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Grimsby Town, on the other hand, are six points clear of the relegation zone, meaning that they should be happy with one point from Tuesday’s showdown. Anyhow, home win should be considered as Colchester want this win more than Grimsby. To make things even worse for the visiting side, top goalscorer Rose misses the match with injury. In the first half of the season Colchester defeated Grimsby 3-2, which goes in favour of our earlier prediction.
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.
