Prediction: 2-3
Notts County
Colchester United play host to Notts County at their Colchester Community Stadium in what is expected to be an interesting League Two game. Summer signing David McGoldrick is eager to help the Magpies secure the League One promotion and, no doubt, the former Derby County man is going to prove a handful for the opposition back-line. You should bear in mind that Notts County recorded a thrilling 4-3 win over Forest Green at the weekend.
The U’s, on the other hand, have been struggling at the back in recent weeks, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the promotion-chasing visitors. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team ahead of Saturday’s showdown. You should bear in mind that Notts County emerged triumphant in three of the previous five encounter with Colchester United in the English fourth tier.

David McGoldrick scored 14 goals in 31 appearances for the Tractor Boys in the 2013/2014 Championship campaign and that is considered his most successful season. You should have in mind that his Ipswich teammates Daryl Murphy and Stephen Hunt backed David for his first-ever Ireland call-up.
