📋 Team News: Colchester United

✨ Prediction
We envisage that Colchester United and Carlisle United may both struggle to make a breakthrough here.
There should be little in it, and a draw looks quite a realistic result. With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a tight encounter with a 0-0 draw at the end of the match.
