Prediction: 2-1
Barrow
Following back-to-back defeats to Doncaster and Salford, Colchester will look to return to winning ways when they face Barrow in the season closer. The U’s have suffered a dip in form and, as a result, they have slim playoffs chances. The hope, though, dies last and we are positive that the hosts will go all guns blazing at the Bluebirds. The likes of Lyle Taylor, Milton Oni, Harry Anderson, and Jamie McDonnell continue to miss out with injuries for the home team.
Barrow, on the other hand, have drawn each of their last three league matches. The Bluebirds are stuck in the middle of the table and given their lack of motivation in the season finale, we are tempted to put our money on the hosts. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Essex.
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.
