Our prediction for this League 1 match:
High-flying Wrexham will be aiming to extend their winning run in League One to five games when they take on Cambridge United on Saturday afternoon. The Dragons have been impressive at the back of late and they will surely rely on their rock-solid defence in the round 20 clash. James Jones is unlikely to feature against Cambridge United after sustaining an injury in the EFL Trophy win over Crewe, but the 28-year-old wouldn’t have been part of the starting XI for the upcoming game anyway.
The Yellows, on the other hand, aim to build on a splendid 4-1 win over Shrewsbury, but given their difficulties on the road, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the promotion-chasing hosts. Shayne Lavery returns to Cambridge United’s starting XI after he was rested in the EFL Trophy defeat to Cheltenham on Tuesday evening.
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.
