Cambridge United vs Shrewsbury Town Prediction 14.10.2023

• Competition: England &— League One
• Date: Saturday, 14th, October 2023
• Kickoff: 15:00 UK / 16.00 CEST
• Venue: Abbey Stadium (Cambridge)

In an attempt to overcome their recent streak of disappointing outcomes, Cambridge United is gearing up to face Shrewsbury at Abbey Stadium this Saturday on the 13th matchday of England’s League One.

Manager Mark Bonner, who helped Cambridge return to the third tier of English football after a 20-year absence, faced his toughest season at Abbey Stadium last year. Cambridge successfully secured their League One status for another year with a crucial 2-0 win against Forest Green on the final day of the previous term, finishing just one point above the relegation zone. Despite being considered as potential relegation candidates this season, the Yellow-blacks are performing admirably. They have built a commendable six-point lead over the danger zone, accumulating 14 points from 11 matches.

Shrewsbury will be their opponent on Saturday afternoon. Shrewsbury is a club that has been consistently competing in the third tier of English football for the past few years. They are currently in their ninth consecutive campaign in League One. In the previous season, they achieved their highest finish in the last five years, securing 12th place. Matt Taylor, the team’s coach, aims to quietly guide his team into contention for a top-six spot this season. However, this won’t be an easy task as Shrewsbury has been quite inconsistent in this campaign, only collecting 13 points from 11 rounds. They are currently just five points clear of the relegation places.

Cambridge United vs Shrewsbury Town Betting Tips: Cambridge to Win

In recent weeks, Cambridge has faced a results crisis. They have only managed to secure two points out of a possible 15 from their last five League One tests. However, their decent start to the campaign has given them a comfortable six-point gap from the relegation zone. Despite this, there is still a reason for the U’s to feel encouraged ahead of Saturday’s showdown. They have earned 10 points out of a total of 14 when playing in front of their home supporters this season.

Cambridge’s outlook for ending their five-match winless spell (D2, L3) is becoming more optimistic, especially when you bear in mind that the Shrews have been extremely poor on their travels, picking up just one win in the past seven months. It’s evident that their attacking line, which has only lit up the scoreboard five times in 11 matches, stands as the primary reason they are perched near the relegation zone, not to mention the fact that they haven’t scored a goal on the road in over 360 minutes. Taking all factors into consideration, we believe Cambridge has a golden opportunity to regain much-needed confidence with a narrow victory on Saturday, capitalizing on the home advantage.
