Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Abbey Stadium will host Saturday’s League Two game between Cambridge United and Newport County. The U’s aim to build on a thrilling EFL Cup win (3-1) over Charlto Athletic and we predict that they will stick to their attacking style of play. Experienced midfielder James Brophy is expected to keep his place in the starting XI after scoring the opener in the midweek triumph, while defender Mamadou Jobe is back from suspension.
The Exiles, on the other hand, are seen as one of the main candidates for relegation. Given Newport’s difficulties on the road, we predict that Cambridge United are going to pick up all three points from the match. There are no fresh injury worries for the Exiles, who are on a four-game losing run in all competitions. In their last encounter at the venue, Cambridge United defeated Newport County 2-1.
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.
