Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Sunday’s football game between Colchester and Forest Green will bring down the curtain on day 38 of the current League Two campaign. The U’s are safe for now as they are eight points clear of the relegation zone, but head coach Wayne Brown must warn his men against complacency. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but both Akinde and Andrews are pushing for a start.
The Green Army, on the other hand, are leading the chase for automatic promotion. The league leaders are seven points clear of fourth-place Tranmere, meaning that the time has come for them to return to winning ways. Given Colchester’s display in the midweek defeat, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visiting side. In the first half of the season Forest Green defeated Colchester 2-0, which is yet another reason why away win should be considered.
Highlighted Team (Forest Green):
Forest Green are an English club which was founded back in 1889. The Rovers host fellow League Two teams at the New Lawn, the stadium with the capacity of 5,302. Forest Green played their first home league game on October 6, 1889, with the team sharing the spoils with Brimscombe.
Green is the dominant colour of their home kit, and Forest Green footballers wear black shirts and black shorts when playing on the travels. In the 1981/82 season the club won the FA Vase, with the team beating Rainworth Miners Welfare 3-0 in the title game at Wembley Stadium.
It has to noted that town of Nailsworth, where Forest Green are based, is the smallest settlement to ever host a Football League club. In December 2012 the club won a prize for growing a field without using chemicals. cheltenham town are regarded as one of the club’s fiercest rivals.
