📋 Team News: Salford City
Josh Austerfield (Ankle injury) and Dan Chesters (Cruciate ligament tear) will not be able to play for Salford City manager Karl Robinson.
In our view, The Ammies may well make use of the 4-2-3-1 system in the match, utilising Jamie Cumming, Sam Long, Michal Helik, Ben Nelson, Joseph Bennett, Will Vaulks, Cameron Brannagan, Przemyslaw Placheta, Alex Matos, Tyler Goodrham and Mark Harris.
📋 Team News: Colchester United
Colchester United manager Danny Cowley has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Jamie McDonnell (Ankle injury), Harry Anderson (Knee medial ligament tear), Jack Payne (Calf injury) and Lyle Taylor (Calf injury) will miss out on this game.
We reckon that The U's appear most likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 system, going with Anthony Patterson, Trai Hume, Chris Mepham, Luke O'Nien, Joe Anderson, Dan Neil, Jobe Bellingham, Patrick Roberts, Enzo Le Fée, Tom Watson and Wilson Isidor.
💡 Prediction
We feel that Colchester United and Salford City might both not be able to do quite enough to get on the scoresheet here.
Little in this one, and it’s almost too close to call. With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a tight encounter, finishing with a 0-0 draw at the end of the match.
