Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Following four consecutive defeats in League One, Cambridge United will look to get back on course when they face Bristol Rovers on Saturday afternoon. The Yellows have been struggling to find their form of late and they must be low on confidence ahead of the trip to Cambridge. Sierra Leone international Sullay Kaikai remains in the recovery room, but there are no fresh injury concerns in the home team.
The Pirates, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing each of their last three league matches. As Bristol Rovers struggled defensively in a 3-2 loss to Leyton Orient on Wednesday, we believe that the time has come for Cambridge United to return to winning ways in League One. To make things even worse for the visiting team, Republic of Ireland forward Promise Omochere limped off with injury in the first game of the year.
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.
