Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Struggling Morecambe side will look to put an end to their five-game losing run in League Two when they face Colchester United on Matchday 6. The Shrimps have been struggling up front early in the season and, as a result, they are seen as underdogs in Saturday’s encounter. All Marcus Dackers, Paul Lewis, and Adam Lewis are pushing for a star as Derek Adams is expected to shuffle his pack.
The U’s, on the other hand, showed signs of progress in back-to-back draws with Accrington and Colchester, which is yet another reason why away win should be considered. Owura Edwards is widely expected to sneak into the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in the last league game. In their last meeting at the Mazuma Stadium Colchester defeated Morecambe 1-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. That time out Arthur Read scored the winner for the U’s, meaning that the opposition back-line should have him at bay.
