Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Out-of-sorts Cambridge United will look to put an end to their six-game losing run in all competitions when they take on Rotherham United on Matchday 9. The Yellows suffered a dip in form, but Tuesday’s clash could be the turning point for Garry Monk’s troops. Shane Lavery and Josh Stokes should be the only absentees in the home team.
The Millers, on the other hand, failed to win the previous four league matches. As Rotherham are not regarded as good travellers, we do not believe that they are capable of grabbing more than one point from the midweek clash. The good news for the visitors is that important attacker Jonson Clarke-Harris has overcome his injury, but duo Sean Raggett – Mallik Wilks is unlikely to feature against Cambridge United. You should know that there have been under 2.5 goals in three of the previous four meetings between the two sides in all competitions.
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.
