1st Prediction For Cambridge United vs Huddersfield Town: Huddersfield Town to win 83/100

Cambridge United are in the midst of a poor season and have won only once in their last five games in all competitions against bottom of the table Shrewsbury Town. Huddersfield Town, on the other hand, have coped well with relegation from the Championship and are currently sitting in fourth place. They have picked three wins in their last five games in all competitions and they have not lost in the league since the start of October. After a very tricky start to the season, it seems as though Michael Duff’s players finally understand the way their manager wants them to play. Therefore, predicting the away side to emerge victorious on Friday night seems logical.

2nd Prediction For Cambridge United vs Huddersfield Town: Huddersfield Town to win and there being over 1.5 goals 69/50

People looking for larger rewards should consider predicting Huddersfield Town to win and there being over 1.5 goals. The Yorkshiremen have been in good form in front of goal recently, scoring eight times in their last five games in all competitions. They are currently the fifth-highest scorers in League One with 30 goals from just 19 games. What has made Michael Duff’s side so prolific is their ability to find goal scorers all over the pitch. Sierra Leone international striker, Josh Koroma, has found the back of the net five times in 15 league games but the Terriers’ top scorer is midfielder Ben Wiles who has netted six league goals in 19 games this campaign. Additionally, the Cambridge United defence has been leaky in recent weeks with Garry Monk’s men having not kept a clean sheet in six games.

3rd Prediction For Cambridge United vs Huddersfield Town: Cambridge United to not score 149/100

Not only have Cambridge United been leaky at the back this season, but they have also been fairly average in front of goal. They are 14th in the league for xG created, but Huddersfield have the fourth-lowest xG conceded in the entirety of the third tier. Their defensive unit contains experienced Championship-level defenders like Michal Helik, Tom Lees and Matthew Pearson as well as the highly-rated Nigel Lonwijk who is having an excellent season so far. It will be hard for the Cambridge attackers to breach such an experienced and consistent defensive unit, even though Dan Nlundulu has been having a good season so far.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head

Friday night’s game will be the first between Cambridge United and Huddersfield since 2010 and both sides come into it with very different medium-term ambitions. Huddersfield are pushing for promotion back to the Championship after being relegated from the second tier for the first time since 2012 and they are in good form at the moment. Cambridge United, however, are fighting for survival at the bottom of League One and currently sit four points off safety after barely scraping survival in the last two seasons. Garry Monk needs his side to pick up at least a point so that they are not cut adrift at the bottom of League One.
