Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Buoyed by a 3-0 win over Newport County, Chesterfield Town will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Colchester United on Matchday 13. The Spireites have a nice opportunity to climb to the playoffs berth and they are likely to adopt an attack-oriented strategy in Tuesday’s clash. Veteran forward Will Grigg definitely deserves a spot in the starting XI after scoring a brace against the Exiles, 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 failing to win the previous four league matches. Given their poor defensive display in a 2-1 loss to Cheltenham Town, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. Talented attacker Samson Tovide should miss out with injury for the away team.
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.
