Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Following a heavy 3-0 loss to Reading, Cambridge United will look to return to winning ways in the League One when they take on Shrewsbury on Matchday 19. The Shrews failed to win the previous six league matches, but they will not have a better chance than this to get back on course. Talented forward Brandon Njoku is pushing for a recall to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in the midweek defeat.
Meanwhile, the Shrews aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Blackpool, but given their dreadful losing run on the road, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the U’s. It has to be noted that Shrewsbury have suffered a loss in each of their last four away games in all competitions. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of Saturday’s relegation six-pointer.
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.
