On April 1, "Abbey Stadium" will host the 40th round match of the English League One, where "Cambridge United" will face "Wrexham". I propose a bet on goals/cards/winner for this match.
"Cambridge United"
The team rose to the Championship level several times in the last decades of the previous century. However, for a quarter of a century now, they have not climbed higher than League One. Moreover, they spent quite a long time in the Conference. Gradually, they managed to rise to the third division. In the last championship, they only finished in eighteenth place.
In the new cycle, nothing was working out, and the club fell to the very bottom of the standings. Even when Neil Harris returned to the coaching position in February, there was no breakthrough. Yes, they won consecutively against "Stockport" and "Crawley". But then they lost four times and only managed a draw with "Barnsley". In the last round, they also shared points, ending 1-1 with "Northampton".
"Wrexham"
Since the arrival of current owners McElhenney and Reynolds, the club has been surprising with stable progress. Another sign of the Hollywood stars' serious intentions in English football was that their venture managed to rise to League One in 2024.
Here, they expected at least a halt in progress, if not a struggle for survival, as they needed to "build muscle." But instead, the newcomer is persistently fighting for promotion. "Birmingham" is obviously out of reach, but they are handling the rest well - seven out of the last ten opponents have been defeated. They even beat "Exeter" 2-0 in the latest round.
Match facts
- "Cambridge United" lost four of their last six matches

H2H

Cambridge United vs Wrexham Prediction
Bookmakers do not expect much intrigue: one of the leaders is playing away against an outsider. We bet on the visitors' victory (odds - 1.92).
