Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Wrexham will be aiming to melt Stockport’s advantage in the League Two standings when they take on Tranmere on Saturday afternoon. The promotion hopefuls are eyeing their fifth consecutive win at home ground and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the U’s. Phil Parkinson has no fresh injury worries and he is likely to stick to the 5-3-2 formation.
Colchester United, on the other hand, are stuck in the danger zone and given their four-game losing run in the English fourth tier, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Wrexham, who have turned their Racecourse Ground into a real fortress. As for the away team, midfielder Noah Chilvers is widely expected to return to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in a 2-1 loss to Crawley Town. You should know that over 2.5 goals have been netted in each of their last three meetings.
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.
