Prediction: 0-2
Exeter
Colchester will look to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Stevenage when they take on Exeter in the League Two round 18. The U’s do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team losing three of their last four league fixtures, and it is no wonder the bookies see them as underdogs in Tuesday’s game. Goalkeeper Jake Turner is widely expected to replace Shamal George in the starting XI, while Freddie Sears should continue to lead the line for the home team.
Exeter, on the other hand, are enjoying a very successful season, with the team sitting in second place in the standings. The promotion-chasing visitors are on a five-game winning run in the League One, and given Colchester’s current form, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on Matt Taylor’s troops. Jake Caprice is pushing for a start after scoring a winner against Carlisle United.
