Harrogate
Saturday’s football game at Colchester Community Stadium pits together Colchester United and Harrogate. The U’s quickly bounced back from a day-one defeat to AFC Wimbledon, with the team beating MK Dons in front of home fans, but they do not want to stop now. Midfielder Arthur Read is widely expected to return to the starting XI following his brilliant performance at the weekend.
The Sulphurites, meanwhile, played out a thrilling 3-3 draw with Accrington in their last league match. As Harrogate have been struggling at the back of late, we are tempted to bet on Colchester United, who are a real force to be reckoned with at home. The good news for the visiting team is that goalkeeper James Belshaw has overcome his injury. Harrogate head coach Simon Weaver is likely to stick to the 3-5-2 formation. In their last meeting in the League Two the Sulphurites defeated the U's, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
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.
