Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Doncaster will be aiming to put an end to their nine-game winless run when they take on Colchester in the League Two round 45. The Donny have been totally out of form of late, but they surely want to finish the 2022/2023 campaign in great manner. All Rowe, Westbrooke, and Goodman are pushing for recalls to the starting eleven as boss Danny Schofield should opt to make changes to the team that suffered a 3-1 loss to Newport County at the weekend.
The U’s, on the other hand, moved one step closer to securing the League Two survival by beating Sutton 4-1 in their last league match. Since Colchester footballers are already on vacation, we are tempted to put our money on Doncaster, who are desperate to put an end to the negative trend. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team ahead of the trip to South Yorkshire.
