Prediction: 2-1
Crawley
Following three consecutive league defeats, Colchester will look to give fans something to cheer about when they face Crawley Town on Saturday. The U’s suffered elimination in both FA Cup and EFL Trophy, meaning that they will be fully focused on the League Two in the remainder of the season. Matthew Etherington is likely to field the best possible side against Crawley after he rested several first-team regulars in the EFL Trophy loss (0-4) to West Ham U21.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, continue with their old habit of producing fine displays at home, while struggling on the travels. Crawley are on a four-game losing run on the road in all competitions and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Colchester’s party at Colchester Community Stadium. Keep in mind, though, that the U’s are eyeing their first win over the Red Devils since October 12, 2019.
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.
