Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Mansfield will be aiming to put an end to their three-game winless run in the League One when they face Cambridge United in Saturday’s matinee. The Yellows failed to impress in a 1-1 draw with Stockport County, managing only four goal attempts and that is probably the main reason why home win should not be considered. Important midfielder George Maris is closing in on a return, but this game comes too early for the 28-year-old.
The U’s, on the other hand, made a slow start to the season, with the team collecting only one point in total from possible four. As Cambridge United are desperate to get back on course as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Talented Cambridge United forward Daniel Barton is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the defeat to Bromley.
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.
