Prediction: 1-0
Wigan
Cambridge United will be aiming to build on a 2-0 win over Barnsley when they take on Wigan Athletic in the League One round 42. The Yellows did well to put an end to their seven-game winless run on Friday, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence, but they should not stop now as their League One status is in danger. Gassan Ahadme is pushing for a rare start after scoring as a substitute at Barnsley, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Latics, on the other hand, are stuck in the middle of the table with 51 points on their account. As Wigan have little to play for in the season finale, we are tempted to put our money on the home team. Jordan Jones remains on the sidelines, while Jason Kerr faces race against the clock to bet fit for Monday’s encounter. Both Steven Sessegnon and Matrial Godo are pushing for recalls to the starting XI.
Highlighted Player (Jason Kerr):
Jason Kerr is a professional footballer who plays for St Johnstone as a defender. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, on February 6, 1997, Jason Kerr is a product of the St Johnstone football academy. He started his senior career in 2014, and after ending his loan spells with East Fife and Queen of the South, he returned to the McDiarmid Park outfit in 2018.
He made his debut with the Saints in the Scottish Cup game against Albion Rovers on January 29, 2019. Jason Kerr has six caps with the Scotland U21 team, but he has yet to receive a call-up for the senior team.
He scored his first goal for St Johnstone in a 4-1 defeat to Rangers on February 27, 2018. His primary position on the field is a centre-back, but he is capable of producing good displays as a central midfielder as well. His preferred foot is right, and he wears the number 15 shirt at St Johnstone.
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.
