Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Colchester United and Salford City go head to head at Colchester Community Stadium in what is expected to be a close League Two encounter. The U’s do not seem to be at their sharpest, failing to win the last five league matches, but they are still seen as favourites to beat Salford in front of home fans. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the home team, Montserrat should be recalled to the starting XI.
The Lions, on the other hand, defeated Swindon 2-1 in their last league match, with the team climbing to 15th place in the standings. Considering that Salford have yet to record a win on the road this term, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. Daniel Chesters limped off with injury in the last league match, with Jon Taylor likely to sneak into the starting eleven.
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.
