Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Buoyed by a 2-0 win over Cheltenham, Portsmouth will look to return to winning ways when they take on Cambridge United on Matchday 4. The Pompey have a chance to climb to the playoffs berth, and they are likely to leave their hearts on the field. Even though all Denver Hume, Clark Robertson, and Joe Morrell remain in the recovery room, home win should be considered as Portsmouth are a real force to be reckoned with at home.
The U’s, on the other hand, continue with their old habit of producing much better showings at home than on the travels. Cambridge United suffered a 1-0 loss to Oxford in their first away game of the season; therefore, we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Portsmouth’s party at Fratton Park. Mamadou Jobe should be the only absentee in the away side.
Highlighted Player (Ellis Harrison):
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.
