Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Colchester will be aiming to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Newport County when they take on Morecambe in the League Two round 12. The U’s continue with their old habit of producing fine displays at home, while struggling on the travels and it has to be noted that they have been involved in some high-scoring games of late. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team, but midfielder Arthur Read is banned for the match.
The Chairboys, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous three league matches. Morecambe aim to move closer to the playoffs berth, but beating Colchester on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. Derek Adams is unlikely to make too many changes to the team that shared the spoils with Accrington on Tuesday evening.
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.
