Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Following back-to-back losses to Stockport County and Crawley Town, Cambridge United will look to give fans some cheer when they take on Blackpool on Saturday afternoon. The U’s are desperate to grab something from the match and they are likely to leave their hearts on the field. Both Gary Gardner and Jordan Cousins should miss out with injuries for the home side, while DR Congo forward Elias Kachunga is widely expected to return to the starting XI.
The Seasiders, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss to Stockport County. As the visitors are eager to record their first win of the season as well, we are tempted to place our bets on both teams to score. Experienced forward Jordan Rhodes should return to Blackpool’s starting eleven after coming as a substitute in the last league fixture.
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.
