Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Abbey Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Cambridge United and Bristol Rovers, the two teams who sit in the top half of the table. Cambridge aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Stevenage, but keep in mind that they are on a five-game losing run in meetings with Bristol Rovers. Gambia forward Saikou Janneh limped off with injury in the midweek defeat, with Elias Kachunga likely to step up.
The Pirates, on the other hand, recorded their first win of the season on Tuesday evening, with the team beating Charlton in London, and, no doubt, the triumph gave them a confidence boost. Anyhow, the share of spoils is on horizon at Abbey Stadium as the Yellows are tough to beat at home. Controversial Bristol Rovers boss Joey Barton is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Red Robins in midweek.
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.
