Prediction: 1-2
Newport County
Colchester United and Newport County take on each other at Colchester Community Stadium in what is expected to be a close League Two encounter. The U’s defeated Carlisle United 2-1 on Tuesday evening, with the team putting an end to their three-match losing run, and, no doubt, the midweek triumph gave them a confidence boost. Colchester aim to move away from the danger zone, but they will have a mountain to climb in Saturday’s clash against the promotion-chasing visitors.
A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Callum Harriott, who found the net in the midweek triumph. The Exiles, on the other hand, are eager to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Tranmere Rovers. Since a win over Colchester United could see the visitors climb to the playoffs berth, away win should be considered.
