Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Cambridge United will be aiming to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Peterborough (0-5) and Northampton Town (1-2) when they face Lincoln on Tuesday evening. The Yellows continue with their old habit of producing fine showings at home while struggling on the travels and they are surely capable of matching Lincoln at their Abbey Stadium. Keep in mind, though, that midfielder Paul Digby serves a one-game ban following his sending-off in the last league fixture.
The Imps, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team losing to Stevenage, beating Leyton, while sharing the spoils with Barnsley. Anyhow, the share of spoils is on the cards at Abbey Stadium as Cambridge United are tough to beat at home. In their last meeting in the English third tier the two teams played out a goalless draw.
Highlighted Player (Teddy Bishop):
Having joined Ipswich as an eight-year-old, Teddy Bishop rose through the ranks at Portman Road to become one of the key players for the Tractor Boys. Bishop’s road to prominence hit a serious roadblock in his first year of the academy scholarship when he endured a serious back injury, but it was in 2014 that he went from strength to strength – proving his worth at the club and emerging as one of the most promising players in the squad.
The total of 36 appearances in his debut season with the first team were more than enough to make an impression on the fans and the club hierarchy which offered him a new long-term deal.
This deep-lying midfielder in characterized by impressive passing accuracy, vision and great reading of the play. Bishop is an asset defensively as well, but he is most comfortable sitting just above the back line, spraying balls around. As a two-footed midfielder, Teddy Bishop is regularly being watched by a number of Premier League biggest clubs.
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.
