Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Pirelli Stadium will host Wednesday’s football game between Burton Albion and Cambridge United. The Brewers have already secured the League One survival, meaning that they have little to play for in the last two games of the regular season. Both Taylor and Kirk are pushing for recalls to the starting XI as head coach Dino Maamria should opt to make changes to the team that suffered a 1-0 loss to Plymouth at the weekend.
The U’s, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Accrington. Since the relegation-threatened visitors want this win more than the hosts, away win should be considered. Cambridge United midfielder George Thomas, who scored as a substitute in the last league match, is pushing for a start, while there are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team. Adam May is out for the rest of the season.
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.
