Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Cambridge United welcome Huddersfield Town to their Abbey Stadium in the opening match of the League One round 21. The Yellows did well to hold Wrexham to a 2-2 draw at Racecourse Ground at the weekend and, no doubt, that performance gave them a confidence boost. Bearing any fresh injury worries, Garry Monk is unlikely to make changes to the team that faced the Dragons.
The Terriers, on the other hand, have been in a fine form of late and they aim to extend their unbeaten run to seven games. Given Huddersfield’s fine form and Cambridge United’s five-game unbeaten run at home, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Defender Matthew Pearson limped off with injury in a 2-2 draw with Lincoln, with Brodie Spencer likely to step up. There are no other selection worries in the away team.
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.
