Prediction: 1-0
Carlisle
Following a 1-1 draw with Port Vale, Colchester United will look to return to winning ways in the League Two when they take on Carlisle United on Matchday 10. The U’s crushed Tranmere 3-0 in their last home game, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Carlisle. Bear in mind, though, that both Edwards and Bishop have been struggling with injuries of late.
Meanwhile, the Cumbrians failed to impress in back-to-back losses to Grimsby (2-3) and Notts County (0-2). In their last meeting in the League Two Carlisle defeated Colchester 1-0, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge. Even though there are no fresh injury concerns in the away team, experienced forward Charlie Wyke is widely expected to return to the starting XI. You should know that that under 2.5 goals have been netted in three of the previous four meetings between the two sides.
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.
