Prediction: 1-1
Fleetwood
Abbey Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Cambridge United and Fleetwood Town. The U’s are eyeing their fourth win of the season, and they head into the match following a 2-1 triumph over Portsmouth. As always, a man to watch in the home team will be Joe Ironside, who has netted five goals in the League One so far this season. All Leon Davies, Kai McKenzie-Lyle, and Jack Lankester are rated doubtful for the match.
The Cod Army, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous four league fixtures. Fleetwood Town are only three points clear of the relegation zone, but their recent displays are giving fans a reason for optimism. Fleetwood produced a fine performance in a 2-2 draw with promotion-chasing Sunderland, and they are surely capable of matching the U’s at Abbey Stadium. Brad Haliday is injured for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Liam O’Neil):
Born in Cambridge, England on July 31, 1993, Liam O’Neil is an English footballer who plays as both defender as midfielder for Cambridge United in the League Two. O’Neil is a product of the Cambridge United football school, but he played for Histon during his youth career as well.
In the summer of 2012 he joined WBA youth academy, and it has to be noted that he made three appearances for the Baggies at senior level in all competitions. Liam O’Neil played for the likes of VPS and Scunthorpe United on loan as well before joining Chesterfield in 2015.
After scoring two goals in 45 appearances for the club in the league, O’Neil moved to Cambridge United in the winter of 2017. As his mother comes from Wales, O’Neil is open to play for the Wales national team, but he has yet to earn a cap with the Dragons.

On the other hand, Fleetwood footballers are dressed in yellow when playing on the travels.

In 1998 the club was renamed to Fleetwood Wanderers after the second reformation.
Legendary England footballer Joey Barton is considered one of the club’s most notable coaches. Barton, who was known for his incidents on the field, has been in charge since June 2, 2018. Neighbouring club Blackpool are regarded as one of Fleetwood’s main rivals. The Fishermen have built up rivalries with Morecambe and Preston North End as well.
