Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Following a 3-2 loss to Crewe Alexandra, Doncaster will look to return to winning ways in the League Two when they take on Colchester United on Matchday 20. The Donny suffered a dip in form, but the midweek fixture could be the turning point for the home side. Grant McCann has no fresh injury worries ahead of the visit of Colchester.
The U’s, on the other hand, aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Stockport County (0-2) and Barrow (1-4). As both sides are likely to go for a win in Tuesday’s encounter, we are tempted to place our bets on both teams to score. As for the away team, defender Jayden Fevrier misses out through suspension, which goes in favour of our prediction. Former West Ham United ace Matthew Etherington is likely to stick to the 3-4-1-2 formation with Tovide and Taylor up front.

Anderson was born in Burnley, on the 2nd of September, 1993. He joined Burnley's youth academy at the age of seven and went on to sign his first professional contract with the club in May 2012. The club then sent him out on loan to Conference Premier Club Barrow, where he made his first professional appearance on the 11th of August,2011, in a 0-0 draw against Telford United.
A further string of loans to Conference clubs Hyde, Halifax, and Lincoln City, League Two club Carlisle and League One club Chesterfield, succeeded his time at Harrow. On the 31st of January, 2018, Anderson joined his current club Doncaster Rovers initially on a year's loan before signing a two-year contract with the club in May.
This permanent switch ended his 18 years-long relationship with parent club Burnley during which, he never once made an appearance for the senior team. On the International front, the 26-year-old has never represented his country at any level.

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.
