After a setback against Accrington Stanley on September 13, Colchester are eager to get back on track in this match.

Bristol Rovers, on the other hand, enter the match on a positive note, having secured five victories in a row against Barrow, Newport, Grimsby, Tottenham and Cambridge United in their last five outings, marking their 6th consecutive unbeaten match.

Adding further support are Arthur Read, Samson Tovide and Oscar Thorn, who have combined to deliver key goals and assists for the team.

Meanwhile, Bristol Rovers’s offensive unit, with Darrell Clarke steering the side, has leaned on Ellis Harrison, their main scorer, and Luke Thomas, as they continue to drive the team’s attacking efforts forward. In League Two, Harrison has been Bristol Rovers’s standout scorer with two goals, while Kilgour has been their leading creator in the competition with two assists.
