Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Colchester will try to recover from back-to-back losses to Notts County and Doncaster when they face Crewe on the last day of the season. The U’s are one point away from securing the League Two survival and we are positive that they will adopt a cautious approach in Saturday’s clash. The good news for the hosts is that both Samson Tovide and Tom Dallison are back from suspension.
The Railwaymen, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss to Wrexham. Crewe, though, are one point away from booking their spot in the playoffs and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. The bad news for the visiting side is that defender Ryan Cooney misses the decider through suspension. Forward Shilow Tracey is pushing for a recall 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.
