Cambridge Utd vs Northampton tips and predictions

Hard to take sides in Club Friendly tussle

Northampton may be superior than Cambridge Utd but it is hard to get excited about backing them.

Any eventuality looks possible here. The draw looks sensible.

It hasn't been simple to isolate the key data in this match-up but given the hosts' recent defensive record at home, the draw is the recommendation. Looking solid at home Cambridge Utd have conceded at an average of just 0.8 goals per game over their last 15 matches.

In previous matches in this head-to-head, 4 of the last 7 have been draws.

The sportsbooks have forecasted both sides to get in on the act as they can both be dangerous in possession. However the odds-against for the No BTTS is actually the standout from that market.

Northampton have drawn 6 of their last 13 matches on the road. With nothing much to get stuck into, the conclusion is that this also ends in stalemate.

Of course, Cambridge Utd are a fourth tier side so it remains to be seen how they adapt to the challenge presented by their superior rivals.
