Prediction: 2-0
Cambridge United
Derby County will be aiming to build on a 2-0 win over Carlisle United when they take on Cambridge United on Saturday afternoon. The Rams have a chance to climb to the League One playoffs berth and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Yellows. Important midfielder Conor Hourihane has been struggling with injury of late as well as defender Jake Rooney.
Cambridge United, on the other hand, are not regarded as good travellers and given their anything but good performances in back-to-back away Leyton Orient and Wigan Athletic, home win should be considered. Nigeria forward Fejiri Okenabirhie should be recalled to Cambridge United’s starting XI after managing to find the net in each of the previous three league fixtures. In their last meeting at Pride Park Derby County defeated Cambridge United thanks to Lewis Dobbin’s goal and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
Highlighted Player (Craig Forsyth):
Craig Forsyth is a left back who is capable of playing as a midfielder as well. The Derby County footballer was born on 24 February, 1989 and he started his youth career at Carlogie Boys Club. Forsyth spent five years in Dundee (2006-2011), but it has to be noted that he played for Montrose and Arbroath (on loan) during his spell at Dens Park.
The Scottish footballer joined Watford in June, 2011 for an undisclosed fee and he did well to score on his debut against Burnley in the opening match of the 2011/2012 Championship campaign. He played 20 games for the Hornets in the 2011/2012 season, but on 19 October, 2012, he was sent on loan to Bradford City.
After ending his loan spell with Bradford, Forsyth signed a loan deal with Derby County on 4 March, 2013 and nine months later he penned a permanent teal with the Rams. The left back made 46 league appearances for Derby County in the 2013/2014 campaign, scoring two goals in the process.
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.
