Colchester United manager Danny Cowley has to currently contend with reduced team options. Zach Mitchell (Hamstring injury), Marley Marshall-Miranda (Ankle injury) and Mandela Egbo (Knee injury) are those who canโt be considered.
๐ฎ Prediction
Weโre inclined to think that Colchester United will need things to go their way to see themselves scoring against this Crawley Town side who we think should do enough to score at the other end and edge ahead.
Thatโs why we have predicted a good battle with a 1-0 victory for Crawley Town at the end of the 90.
