Prediction: 2-1
Bradford
Colchester United will look to escape the danger zone when they take on Bradford City in the League Two round 16. The U’s are on a seven-game winless run and a triumph over Bradford City will see them escape the danger zone. Robert Hunt suffered an injury in a 1-1 draw with Barrow, with Mandela Egbo likely to step up. A man to watch in the home team will be winger Harry Anderson, who produced a brilliant display in the EFL Trophy win over Arsenal U 21 on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the Bantams aim to recover from back-to-back defeats to Doncaster and Fleetwood. As Bradford City suffered a dip in form, struggling defensively, we predict that Colchester are going to emerge triumphant in Saturday’s encounter. Even though there are no injury worries in the away team, fit-again defender Clarke Oduor should be recalled to the starting XI.
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.
