📰 Team News: Cambridge United

There is just one fitness concern for the Cambridge United manager Neil Harris to contend with from an otherwise fully-primed squad. Shayne Lavery (Hamstring injury) is sidelined.

ℹ️ Team News: Chesterfield

Thanks to a mainly available group, there is only a single fitness problem for the Chesterfield boss Paul Cook to be concerned with. John Fleck (Shin injury) won’t be in action.

✨ Prediction

In our opinion, Chesterfield could find themselves struggling to break down this Cambridge United side who will likely manage to score & go ahead.

We therefore fancy a very even match with a 1-0 winning margin for Cambridge United at the end of the 90.

It should be a good one.
