Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Wigan Athletic and Cambridge United go head to head at DW Stadium in a highly-anticipated League One game. The Latics aim to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Barnsley and Blackpool and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Yellows. Even though there are no fresh injury concerns in the home team, Northern Ireland international Josh Magennis should sneak into the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in the last league match.
Cambridge United, on the other hand, continue with their old habit of producing fine performances at home, while struggling on the travels. The Yellows were beaten by Leyton Orient in their last away game in the League One and, taking everything into account, we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Wigan’s party at the DW Stadium. As for the visiting team, Nigeria forward Fejiri Okenabirhie is pushing for a recall to the starting XI after scoring a late winner against Reading on Matchday 7.
Highlighted Player (Jason Kerr):
Jason Kerr is a professional footballer who plays for St Johnstone as a defender. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, on February 6, 1997, Jason Kerr is a product of the St Johnstone football academy. He started his senior career in 2014, and after ending his loan spells with East Fife and Queen of the South, he returned to the McDiarmid Park outfit in 2018.
He made his debut with the Saints in the Scottish Cup game against Albion Rovers on January 29, 2019. Jason Kerr has six caps with the Scotland U21 team, but he has yet to receive a call-up for the senior team.
He scored his first goal for St Johnstone in a 4-1 defeat to Rangers on February 27, 2018. His primary position on the field is a centre-back, but he is capable of producing good displays as a central midfielder as well. His preferred foot is right, and he wears the number 15 shirt at St Johnstone.
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.
