Cambridge United vs Barnet Predictions & Betting Tips, Match Preview

Since winning their place back in the Football League in 2014 it’s been a story of steady progression for Cambridge United. Shaun Derry’s men have established themselves once again as a league side and have made some impressive acquisitions in the summer. Tricky winger Piero Mingoia joins from last season’s nearly men Accrington Stanley and dangerous forward Adam McGurk has signed from Portsmouth. United will once again look to build on last season and are tipped by many to be in the promotion picture come the end of the campaign.

Barnet will perhaps look towards this weekend’s opponents as a model of how to do well in League Two. Like Cambridge they lost their place in the Football League before managing to gain it back a few seasons later. They have since constructed a young side with a solid spine and have added sprinklings of quality like Akpa Akpro up front in a bid to push them up the table. Despite making improvements to the squad we think that a play off push might be a step too far for them this year and think a top half finish is a more realistic aim.

While we think these two clubs are on similar paths but suggest that Cambridge are further on in their progression. We think they will look to start the season strong and with odds at 4/5 with bet365 it looks a fairly safe bet for good odds. We’re liking the look of a 2-0 Cambridge win for a correct score tip and you can get odds at 15/2 with the same site.
