Cambridge United vs Bristol Rovers Predictions

Hosts to carry on good form

Cambridge United should be backed to follow up their big win last time when they host Bristol Rovers at the Abbey Stadium on Saturday.

Cambridge United bounced back in style from defeat by Harrogate Town last weekend, beating Crawley 3-0 with Shane McLoughlin scoring the opener on 44 minutes and Sullay Kaikai netting twice. Cambridge restricted Crawley to one shot on target and have now won 13 of the 20 games in which they’ve scored first this season (65%). They were priced as 11/10 favourites to win the game and triumphed with something to spare.

Cambridge United are fourth in the league, 15 places and 29 points above Bristol Rovers, who are 19th with eight wins, three draws and 19 defeats from their 30 games this season.

Cambridge United’s current form makes for encouraging reading. They have gone ten home games unbeaten in League Two, winning eight of their last ten, including enjoying four straight successes at home.

The goals are not flowing for the visiting attack, with Bristol Rovers failing to score in four of their last six League Two away games. They have lost their last two on the road to nil.

The visitors have not been able to keep their opponents at bay this term. Bristol Rovers have conceded 25 goals away from home this season in League Two – an average of 1.79 goals per game from 14 matches.

Bristol Rovers are enduring a difficult run of results on the road, having lost their last two League Two away games and seven of their last nine.

Cambridge United may be able to edge out Bristol Rovers in a close game, with a 2-1 home win the correct-score pick. Five of Cambridge’s 16 League Two wins this season were by a 2-1 scoreline and Bristol Rovers have gone down by a single goal 11 times in the league in 2025-26.
