As Grimsby and Colchester square off once more, the memory of Grimsby's 1-2 win in their League Two match from 6 months ago still lingers. Grimsby's most recent match last Tuesday resulted in a defeat to Doncaster Rovers, and they'll be keen to make amends here. If they aim to regain control of matches, defensive adjustments will be necessary, given that their backline remains a concern, conceding goals in their last seven home matches in a row.

Colchester's most recent outings, by contrast, ended in two straight victories against Gillingham and Chesterfield, setting a positive tone ahead of this match. All the same, their inability to keep a clean sheet has been evident, as they have allowed goals in ten consecutive matches.

This League Two match offers a platform for Grimsby and Colchester’s goal-scorers to step up and leave their mark on the contest. Grimsby’s Charles Vernam and leading scorer Jaze Kabia have played significant roles in the team’s attack, with David Artell steering the side, each providing decisive moments in their offensive play. With five goals in League Two, Kabia is Grimsby’s top scorer in the league, while Vernam has been their leading creator in the competition with five assists. Grimsby’s offense has also been strengthened by Evan Khouri, Kieran Green and Jamie Walker, who have provided crucial contributions in the final third.

Meanwhile, Kyreece Lisbie and Jack Payne have been pivotal for Colchester’s attack, shaped by Danny Cowley’s vision, combining to deliver important goals and assists. In League Two, Lisbie has been Colchester’s standout scorer with five goals, as Payne continues to lead their creative efforts in the tournament with three assists. Jack Tucker, Harry Anderson and Arthur Read have supported the attack well, combining for important goals and assists throughout the campaign.
