Our prediction for this League 2 match:
AFC Wimbledon play host to Colchester United to their Plough Lane in the League Two round 12. The Dons were on the verge of beating Bradford on the road, but substitute Vadaine Oliver eventually saved one point for the Bantams. Defender Alex Pearce, who limped off with injury in the 2-2 draw with Bradford, is unlikely to feature against Colchester, while Jack Currie has overcome his injury.
The U’s, on the other hand, made a slow start to the season, with the team already suffering six defeats in the process, while recording only one win. Since the visitors have been struggling in front of goal of late, we do not believe that AFC Wimbledon ill have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. Colchester forward Freddie Sears should keep his place in the starting XI despite failing to convert a late penalty against the Dale.

Will Jaaskelainen is a Finland international who plays for Crewe Alexandra as a goalkeeper.

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.
