Colchester - Cheltenham

Colchester United welcome Cheltenham Town to the JobServe Community Stadium on 19 September 2026 for this League Two matchday 7 encounter. The hosts look to regain momentum after a challenging start to September, having taken only one point from their last three league fixtures. Their recent run includes a 3-1 defeat at Swindon Town and a 2-0 loss to Bristol Rovers, highlighting a need for defensive stability as they return to home soil.

Cheltenham Town arrive in better spirits, buoyed by an impressive 3-1 victory over Crawley Town on 12 September. While they have shown resilience in their recent outings, including a 2-2 draw with Grimsby Town, the visitors will be keen to improve their record against Colchester. Their last meeting in May 2026 saw Colchester secure a dominant 4-1 win, a result that adds an extra layer of intrigue to this latest contest.
