Prediction: 0-2
Bristol Rovers
Following a 1-0 loss at Accrington, Colchester United will look to return to winning ways in League Two when they take on Bristol Rovers on Matchday 9. The U’s are desperate to record their first home win of the season and they are seen as slim favourites to win Saturday’s game. Forward Owura Edwards is banned for the match, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Pirates, on the other hand, are on a five-game winning run in all competitions ahead of the trip to Essex and given Colchester’s poor home record in the new League Two campaign, away win should be considered. Bristol Rovers boss has a luxury to field the best possible side against the U’s, except for forward Shaqai Forde, who remains on the sidelines with injury. In their last encounter in the English fourth tier, Bristol Rovers defeated Colchester United 2-1.
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.
