Prediction: 2-1
Cambridge United
Oxford United will be aiming to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Northampton Town when they take on Cambridge United on Matchday 24. The Yellows have suffered only one defeat at home this season, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the Boxing Day clash. Talented midfielder Tyler Goodrham is pushing for a rare start, while both Marcus Browne and Kyle Edwards continue to miss out with injuries.
The U’s, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Blackpool and Exeter. Cambridge United have been producing fine displays at home of late, but given their difficulties on the road, home win should be considered. In their last meeting at the venue Oxford United defeated Cambridge United 1-0, with aforementioned midfielder Goodrham scoring the only goal of the match. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Elliott Moore):
Born in Coalville, England on March 16, 1997 Elliott Moore is an English footballer who plays for Oxford United as a centre-back. Moore has one cap with the England U18 team, while making two appearances for the England U20 team.
The 196-cm tall defender is a product of Leicester City football school, joining the club at the age of 6, but he did not enjoy a first-team football with the Foxes. He made his first appearances for Leicester City senior team on July 19, 2017 against WBA at the Asia Trophy. After spending a couple of seasons on loan at OH Leuven, Elliott Moore returned to England in the summer of 2019, signing a contract with League One side Oxford United.
Moore made his League One debut against Sunderland on August 3, 2019. The two teams played out a 1-1 draw at Stadium of Light in the opening match of the season, with Elliott Moore coming from the bench in the dying minutes of the game.

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.
