Prediction: 1-1
Harrogate
Cambridge United and Harrogate face each other at Abbey Stadium in what is expected to be a close encounter. Cambridge United have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating Leyton and Grimsby, while losing to Bradford City and Stevenage. Mark Bonner’s men aim to climb to automatic promotion places, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at Harrogate.
The newcomers, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Oldham Athletic, and seeing that they are eager to regain their spot in the top half of the table, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Harrogate recorded three wins in the previous four away games in the League Two, but share of spoils is on the cards at Abbey Stadium. This will be the first ever meeting between the two clubs in the English fourth tier.
Highlighted Player (Liam O’Neil):
Born in Cambridge, England on July 31, 1993, Liam O’Neil is an English footballer who plays as both defender as midfielder for Cambridge United in the League Two. O’Neil is a product of the Cambridge United football school, but he played for Histon during his youth career as well.
