Prediction: 2-1
Colchester
Newport County and Colchester United face each other at Rodney Parade on day 9 of the 2020/21 League Two campaign. The Exiles have been producing excellent displays in the league ever since they suffered a 2-1 loss to Cambridge United, and they must be high on spirits following a 3-0 win over Bradford City. Newport are eyeing their fourth consecutive win in the League Two, and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Tuesday’s football match.
Colchester aim to build on back-to-back home wins over Harrogate and Forest Green, but given their anything but good away record, we believe that punters can find value in betting on the hosts. Gambia international Saikou Janneh is likely to miss the game with injury for the hosts as he was force to leave the pitch after 42 minutes in the 3-0 win over the Bantams.

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.
