Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Buoyed by back-to-back wins over Wigan Athletic and Stevenage, Cambridge United will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Burton Albion on Saturday afternoon. The U’s have been impressive at the back of late and they are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence in the round 14 clash. Sierra Leone international Sullay Kaikai is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in the midweek triumph, while all Dan Barton, Gary Gardner, Shayne Lavery, and Josh Stokes remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Brewers, on the other hand, are running down a blind alley. As Burton Albion are on a six-game losing run in the English third tier, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Saturday’s encounter. All Billy Bodin, Julian Larsson, Jack Hazlehurst, and Geraldo Bajrami are out of contention with injuries for the away team, while Tomas Kalinauskas should be recalled to the starting eleven.
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.
