Colchester vs Wrexham Prediction: Wrexham aiming for automatic promotion

Colchester will welcome Wrexham at JobServe Community Stadium in Game Week 43 of the English League Two. Wrexham aiming to solidify their place for automatic promotion. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes?

Colchester extended their undefeated streak in League Two to four games with a 1-1 draw against Tranmere Rovers, equalizing quickly after falling behind. Since Danny Cowley took over as head coach in January, Colchester has struggled to secure victories, with two wins, nine draws, and two losses in 13 matches. Despite being in 23rd place, they are only one point behind 22nd-placed Sutton with three games in hand. Colchester have recently shared points in three of their last four matches, but they secured a win against Newport County in their last home game. They now have upcoming home matches against Wrexham and Stockport County. Wrexham has been inconsistent away from home this season, with seven wins, seven draws, and seven losses in 21 League Two matches.

Meanwhile, Wrexham will come into this match following a 1-0 defeat against Doncaster Rovers on Tuesday, placing them third in the standings with 73 points from 41 league matches this season. Despite a 2-0 win against Mansfield on March 29, they have struggled to maintain momentum and are currently four points behind league leaders Stockport. Wrexham, under the ownership of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, are aiming for consecutive promotions after their National League triumph last year. Manager Phil Parkinson's team will face Crawley Town and Forest Green Rovers in consecutive home games following this match, having the second-best home record in League Two with 45 points from 20 matches. They will be looking to secure another win over Colchester, having defeated them 2-1 in their previous meeting in December and not having lost to them since April 2004.

Cowley has developed a strategy to make Colchester a tough team to defeat, so it would not be unexpected if the home team manages to frustrate Wrexham during the upcoming weekend. However, Wrexham is in dire need of a victory to enhance their chances of promotion. It is likely that the Welsh team will find a way to secure a crucial three points on Saturday afternoon.
