Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Tuesday’s League One game at Whaddon Road pits together Cheltenham Town and Cambridge United, the two teams who sit in the middle of the table. The Robins are undefeated in the previous three league fixtures, but they were eliminated by AFC Wimbledon in the FA Cup at the weekend. Cheltenham have been scoring goals for fun in all competitions of late, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play.
Michael Duff has no fresh injury worries, but Andy Williams is pushing for a start after finding the net in the FA Cup defeat. The U’s, on the other hand, have collected only one point in total from the previous four league fixtures. Cambridge United defeated Exeter in the FA Cup on Saturday, but given Cheltenham’s fine form in the League One, the visitors are unlikely to grab something from the match.
Highlighted Player (Chris Hussey):
Born in Hammersmith, England, Christopher Hussey is an experienced defender who plays for Cheltenham Town in the League Two. After spending his youth career at the likes of Woking and AFC Wimbledon, Hussey continued playing for the Dons at senior level.
He played for a number of English clubs in the past, but, no doubt, the most notable one is Sheffield United. Chris Hussey made seven appearances for the Blades in the League One, but nowadays he is a League Two player. His main position is left-back, but he is capable of producing fine displays as a left midfielder as well.
It has to be noted that he was called up for the England C team as a standby. Christopher Hussey made his Cheltenham Town debut on August 21, 2018 in a 1-1 draw with Macclesfield Town. He scored his first goal with the Robins in a 4-2 loss to Mansfield Town.
Highlighted Team (Cambridge United):
Cambridge United are an English football club that compete in League Two. The U’s play their home games at Abbey Stadium, the venue which was built back in 1923. Owned by Grosvenor Estates, Cambridge United’s home ground can hold up to 8,127 spectators.
The U’s wear amber and black jerseys and black shorts when playing in front of home fans, while white and blue are the dominant colours of their away kit. Cambridge United won the FA Trophy in 2014, with the team making it to the FA Cup quarter-finals two times (1989/90, 1990/91). In the 1968-69 season, the U’s clinched the Southern League Cup title.
Cambridge United recorded their biggest league win in March 2007 as they outclassed Weymouth 7-0, and they repeated the success against Forest Green (2009) and Morecambe (2016). Peterborough United are regarded as the club’s main rivals, but they maintain rivalries with Northampton Town, Colchester United, Luton Town, Stevenage, and Histon as well.
