Colchester lost their last game at Port Vale (placed 2nd) after a 0-3 scoreline. Charlie Daniels was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.32 out of 10. The defender Daniels hit two key passes and won 3 of 4 duels.
In the match before that, Colchester hosted Bristol Rovers and drew the game 1-1.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Scunthorpe United are coming to town in four days.

Sutton United are travelling again after losing away to Rochdale in their previous match (2-3). It's a bit worrying for Sutton United that their goalie Dean Bouzanis made seven saves in the Rochdale fixture, but still could not rescue them from a loss. Sutton were so close to getting something from the game against Rochdale, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal five minutes into overtime. Alistair Smith got a match rating of 7.6 in that game, top player of the team. Smith scored one goal and had 31 successful passes (of 38 total).
The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Swindon Town.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest.

A new game in only four days for Sutton, the League Two home match versus Walsall. Busy days.
