Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Colchester play host to Carlisle at their Colchester Community Stadium in what is expected to be a close League Two encounter. The U’s aim to make amends for a 3-2 loss to Northampton, and they are surely capable of matching Carlisle in front of home fans. A man to watch in the home team will be experienced forward Freddy Sears, who opened his goal-scoring account at the weekend.
The Cumbrians, on the other hand, did well to beat Crawley Town thanks to Kristian Dennis’ goal. Carlisle aim to give fans yet another reason for celebration, but beating Colchester on the road is easier said than done. As previously mentioned, a close match is on the cards, and we believe that punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on draw. In their last meeting in the English fourth tier the two sides played out a 2-2 draw.
Highlighted Player (Frank Nouble):
Born in Lewisham, London on September 24, 1991, Frank Nouble is a product of the Chelsea football academy. Despite spending his youth career at the capital club, he did not see any game action with the Blues at senior level. Frank Nouble started his senior career at West Ham United, but he made no more than 13 league appearances for the Hammers.
Nowadays, he plays for Colchester United in the League Two. Frank Nouble, who has eight caps with the England U19 team, made his debut with the U’s on August 4, 2018, in a goalless draw with Notts County. He scored his first goal with Colchester United on September 15, 2018, in a 3-0 victory over Cambridge United.
Nouble’s primary position is centre-forward, but he is used as both left and right winger as well. The 190-cm-tall footballer wears the number 45 jersey at Colchester United, and his preferred foot is right.
Highlighted Team (Carlisle):
Founded in May 1904, Carlisle United are a professional football club that have one of the biggest stadiums in the League 2. Brunton Park is the club’s home ground, and it can hold up to 18,202 spectators. When playing at Brunton Park Carlisle United footballers wear blue shirts and blue shorts, while their away kit is sky blue.
The Cumbrians maintain a rivalry with Workington And Barrow, but it has to be noted that the two clubs have not met in the Football League since the 1970s. Carlisle United won their first Football League Trophy in the 1996/97 season, with the team beating Colchester United 4-3 on penalties.
The Cumbrians repeated the success 14 years later (2010/11) as they defeated Brentford 1-0, thanks to Peter Michael Murphy’s goal. Carlisle United recorded their biggest win against Hartlepool United (8-0) on September 1, 1928, with the team suffering their heaviest defeat to Hull City (1-11) on January 14, 1939.
