The use of compter for "to plan"

Question

I used, "Compter" instead of "prevoir" and it was marked wrong. I understand the use of "prevoir", but wouldn't "compter" also work in this case? 
In English, the verb, "to plan" can mean to "intend to do something" as well as "to make plans to do something".
Here is Collins on the use of "Compter":
6.  (= avoir l’intention de)
compter faire quelque chose - to intend to do something

Bonjour Hilary,
Thank you for your comment! 
In this specific context, "compter" can be accepted as an alternative. However, "compter" has the meaning of "intending on doing something" (it's an expectation rather than a set plan) whereas "prévoir" is more about having organised oneself.
Thanks to you, it has now been added as a correct alternative.
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !
