Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Cambridge United will try to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Stockport County and QPR when they face Crawley Town at their Abbey Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The U’s are desperate to grab something from the match and we are positive that they will leave their hearts on the field this time out. Midfielder Paul Digby is widely expected to start this time out following his fine performance in the EFL Cup defeat to QPR. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, outplayed Blackpool in their League One opener, while eliminating Swindon Town in the EFL Cup round 1. Crawle Town, though, often struggle on the travels an that is that main reason why we are going to bet on draw. The Red Devils midfielder Jack Roles definitely deserves a spot in the starting XI after scoring a brace against the Robins, while adding one assist.
Highlighted Team (Crawley):
Crawley Town are an English football club that compete in the League 2. The club was founded back in 1896 and in the 2011/2012 season they secured promotion to the English fourth tier for the first time. The Devils play their home games at Broadfield Stadium, the venue which was built and opened in 1997.
The stadium has a capacity of 6,144 spectators and is owned by Crawley Borough Council. Crawley Town are well known for their red home kit, with the team wearing white shirts and sky blue shorts when playing on the travels. Crawley Town fans consider AFC Wimbledon the club’s biggest rivals, but they have rivalries with Brighton and Swindon Town as well.
In 1959 the Devils won the Metropolitan League Cup, which is considered one of the club’s biggest successes. Crawley Town won the Sussex Professional Cup in 1970, the Gilbert Rice Floodlight Cup in 1980 and 1984, the Southern Counties Combination Floodlight Cup in 1986, and the Sussex Senior Cup in 1990 and 1991.
