Prediction: 1-0
Grimsby
Colchester will look to make amends for a heavy 4-1 loss to Bradford City when they take on Grimsby Town in the League Two round 39. The U’s are on a three-game winning run at home and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Talented midfielder Milton Oni remains in the recovery room, but the 19-year-old should be the only absentee in the home team.
The Mariners, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Newport County, but given their ups and downs on the road, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from Friday’s encounter. Bearing any fresh injury worries, manager David Artell is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Exiles at the weekend. Earlier this season, Colchester defeated Grimsby 1-0, with substitute John-Kymani Gordon scoring the only goal of the match.
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.
