Prediction: 2-0
Cambridge United
After surviving lower-league side Harborough in the FA Cup, Reading will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Cambridge United on Matchday 18. The Royals aim to climb to the playoffs berth and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Tuesday’s clash. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Sam Smith, who has netted seven goals in 14 appearances this season.
The Yellows, on the other hand, have drawn each of their last three league matches. Cambridge United are desperate to escape the relegation zone, but given Reading’s four-game winning run at Select Car Leasing Stadium, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the hosts. Malawi defender Jubril Okedina is back from suspension for the visiting side, while Ryan Loft is pushing for a recall to the starting XI.
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.
