1st prediction for Wrexham vs Cambridge United: Wrexham to win or draw 2/25

The league positions speak for themselves with this prediction. Wrexham lie inside the automatic promotions spots within touching distance of leaders Wycombe Wanderers, behind by only one goal, whereas Cambridge are languishing in the relegation zone. The hosts have by far the best defence in the division, with only 11 conceded all season, which stands them in good stead for any game. Cambridge on the other hand have really struggled in both boxes, especially against the top teams. With the gulf in quality between the two sides, as well as the context of the season so far, it’s hard to see Cambridge getting anything out of this one.

2nd prediction for Wrexham vs Cambridge United: Wrexham to be winning at half time 27/25

This is a game you’d expect Wrexham to win and they’re likely to treat it as a statement of intent. Cambridge are also quite frankly dreadful away from home, with heavy defeats to Reading and Peterborough recently, and no win on the road in the league since October. With these heavy defeats, you’d think it’s likely Wrexham will be ahead by at least one at the break in this game, and as the next prediction will touch on, once they get in front they stay in front.

3rd prediction for Wrexham vs Cambridge United: Both teams to score – No 79/100

Our third prediction links pretty closely to the first one. Rather than being a reflection of Cambridge’s poor form, this is more down to Wrexham’s defensive solidity. Once the Welsh side get in front they’re unlikely to relinquish a lead, which has been the backbone of their good form. Perhaps the only saving grace for Cambridge could be their opponents’ injury worries between the sticks, with both first and second choice goalies absent. Despite this, the defenders in front are some of the best in the league, and getting past them to register even a shot may prove too much of a challenge.

These two sides come into this game off the back of victories; Wrexham having beaten managerless Burton Albion while Cambridge thrashed fellow strugglers Shrewsbury.
