In League Two action, Colchester meet Newport on December 20. The match is set to start at 15:00 UTC.
Tensions run high as Colchester and Newport square off once more, 8 months after the previous League Two encounter that concluded in a 0-2 victory for Colchester. Colchester come into this match following a defeat to West Ham yesterday, looking to bounce back with a stronger performance. Before Newport, they will play Salford City in League Two, and the result of this game could have a lasting impact on their mindset ahead of the Newport game.
Newport are preparing for the match after a loss against Boreham in the FA Cup last Sunday, having failed to win in their last six outings. Their upcoming schedule leading up to Colchester includes Fleetwood Town and Crewe in League Two, fixtures that are likely to influence their form and fitness ahead of their clash with Colchester. Their backline remains a concern, having conceded goals in each of their last seven matches.
This League Two clash shines a light on the players who have played crucial roles in creating and converting chances for Colchester and Newport in this campaign. Colchester’s attacking options, with Danny Cowley at the helm, have been bolstered by Kyreece Lisbie, the team’s top scorer, and Harry Anderson, both of whom have contributed crucial goals and assists. Lisbie leads Colchester’s scoring charts in League Two this season with seven goals, while also leading the team in assists, having set up four goals this campaign. Jack Payne, Micah Mbick and Jack Tucker have also played key roles, contributing with goals and assists to fuel Colchester’s attack.
Meanwhile, Kai Whitmore and Courtney Baker-Richardson have been pivotal for Newport’s attack, with David Hughes steering the side, combining to deliver important goals and assists. In League Two, Whitmore has been Newport’s standout scorer with three goals, and has also shown his creativity, leading the team with three assists this campaign. Newport’s offense has also been strengthened by Nathaniel Opoku, Cameron Antwi and Matthew Baker, who have provided crucial contributions in the final third.
