Tranmere Rovers
LWDWWL
Tranmere Rovers will be hoping for a better result following a 1-3 League Two loss in their previous game against Crawley Town.
The only player to score from Tranmere Rovers was Luke Norris (21'). Jeremy Kelly (2'), Jay Williams (10') and Danilo Orsi (79') scored for Crawley Town.
Tranmere Rovers havenโt been able to stop scoring goals, netting in each and every one of their last 6 matches.
Theyโve claimed a sum of 7 during that time while also conceding a total of 8. That pattern might not be continued into this match, however.
Colchester United
DDDLDD ๐
In their last fixture, Colchester United drew 1-1 in the League Two match with Mansfield Town.
The only name on the scoresheet from Colchester United was Harry Anderson (13'). Lewis Brunt (63') was the scorer for Mansfield Town.
Colchester United have attacked well in the lead-up to this encounter, having scored 5 goals in their previous 6 matches. While their manager Danny Cowley will no doubt take that as a positive sign, Colchester United have had their own issues at the back, also conceding in 6 of those same games.

We reckon that it will be a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 victory for Tranmere Rovers by the conclusion of the game. Should be a good one.
