Our prediction for this League 2 match:
High-flying Colchester will look to extend their winning run to four games when they take on Gillingham in the League Two round 28. The U’s have been impressive in front of goal of late, and, as a result, the odds for home win have been dropping. One of the men to watch in the home team will be pacey wing-back Junior Tchamadeu, who has found his goal-scoring touch of late.
Meanwhile, the Gills quickly bounced back from the FA Cup defeat to Leicester City, with the team beating Hartlepool 2-0 in their last league match. With no fresh injury worries to report, boss Neil Harris is unlikely to make changes to the team that outplayed the Pools at the weekend. Anyhow, home win should be considered as Gillingham are the worst travellers in the league with the away record of 0-4-8.

Born in Thamesmead, England on August 12, 1990, Kwesi Appiah is a professional footballer who plays for AFC Wimbledon in the League One. Due to his dual citizenship, Appiah is eligible to play for Ghana and he made his debut with the Black Stars in a 2-1 win over South Africa on January 27, 2015.
The pacey forward scored his first goal for the national team in a 3-0 win over Guinea on February 1, 2015. Appiah started his club career at Ebbsfleet United, but the list of clubs he played for is pretty long.
Appiah wore Peterborough United, Weymouth, King’s Lynn, Kettering Town, Brackley Town, Thurrock, Margate, Crystal Palace, Aldershot Town, Yeovil Town, Cambridge United, Notts County, Reading and Viking shirts before signing a permanent deal with AFC Wimbledon in 2017. His main position is centre-forward, but he is capable of producing fine performances as both second striker and left winger as well.
