Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Highbury Stadium will host a postponed League Two game between Fleetwood and Colchester, the two teams who defeated Bradford City and Grimsby respectively in their last league matches. The Code Army aim to move closer to the playoffs berth and they are likely to adopt an attack-oriented approach in Saturday’s encounter. Midfielder Brendan Wiredu remains in the recovery room, but forward Ryan Graydon has overcome his minor injury.
The U’s, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Grimsby Town. Colchester United are undefeated in the previous three league matches, but seeing that they have recorded only one win on the road this term, we are tempted to put our money on Fleetwood. Bearing any fresh injury worries, Danny Cowley is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Grimsby Town. In their last meeting at the venue Fleetwood rolled over Colchester 4-0.
Highlighted Team (Fleetwood):
Known for their attacking style of play, Fleetwood Town are a professional football club based in Fletwood, Lancashire. The Fishermen play their home matches at Highbury Stadium, the venue with the capacity of 5,327 (2,672 seated), with the team wearing red and white shirts in home matches.
On the other hand, Fleetwood footballers are dressed in yellow when playing on the travels. The original club was founded back in 1908 under the name of Fleetwood FC and 69 years later they were re-established as Fleetwood Town F.C. In 1998 the club was renamed to Fleetwood Wanderers after the second reformation.
Legendary England footballer Joey Barton is considered one of the club’s most notable coaches. Barton, who was known for his incidents on the field, has been in charge since June 2, 2018. Neighbouring club Blackpool are regarded as one of Fleetwood’s main rivals. The Fishermen have built up rivalries with Morecambe and Preston North End as well.
