Prediction: 0-2
Mansfield
Colchester play host to Mansfield at their Colchester Community Stadium in what is a must-win game for the visitors. The Yellows are three points behind the playoffs berth ahead of Matchday 46 and they have no other choice but to leave their hearts on the field. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team, but talented forward Will Swan could sneak into the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in a 2-1 loss to Harrogate.
The U’s, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team sharing the spoils with Crawley, beating Sutton, while losing to Doncaster. Anyhow, the visitors want this triumph more than the hosts and we predict that they are going to prove their worth on the field. Both Hopper and Fevrie are pushing for a start as Ben Garner should opt to make changes to the team that suffered a 1-0 loss to Doncaster.
