Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Colchester
Match Time & Date:
2 August 2025
15:00
Prediction: 1-0
Tranmere
Colchester will look to kickstart their League Two campaign in style when they face Tranmere on Saturday afternoon. The U’s were producing fine performances in preseason, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of Tranmere’s visit. New signings Jack Tucker, Dominic Gape, and Jaden Williams are all expected to help Colchester improve their game in the new League Two campaign.
Andy Crosby’s men, on the other hand, played no more than one pre-season friendly, with the team suffering a 1-0 loss to Wigan. In their last meeting at Colchester Community Stadium, Colchester defeated Tranmere 3-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. The good news for the visiting team is that the club chiefs managed to keep hold of top scorer Omari Patrick. Anyhow, we predict that the visitors are going to return home with their hands empty.
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.
